Gibraltar Minister Pleased with Gambling Industry Meetings

Gibraltar’s Minister for Justice Trade and Industry, Nigel Feetham, has praised Entain and 888’s commitment to the territory’s gambling sector. This followed recent meetings with company representatives.

According to the Gibraltar government, Feetham personally spoke with Entain’s interim chief executive officer, Stella David, and 888’s chief executive, Per Widerström. Both companies recently underwent structural and leadership changes but remain important contributors to Gibraltar’s economy.

Having cemented itself as one of the most important gambling hubs, Gibraltar is highly dependent on the gambling industry’s contributions. As a result, Feetham’s meetings with David and Widerström were of crucial importance to the territory.

The meetings saw the Minister for Justice Trade and Industry discuss a variety of important topics, such as taxes, regulations and business optimization. Feetham also discussed the businesses’ future in the region and the expectations the region has for them. 

According to the local government, the minister was very pleased with the two gambling powerhouses.
