Ladbrokes Coral has appointed former telecoms marketer Noel Hamill to the role of chief marketing officer, to sit as part of the retail executive with responsibility for the Ladbrokes and Coral brands across the group.

Hamill, the former managing director of marketing at EE, took over the running of the marketing at the telecoms group in 2016 as part of a wider shake-up of the EE leadership team following its acquisition by BT.

He was previously the director of indirect partnerships at EE, responsible for sales and commercial activities across consumer and business indirect partners and prior to that had worked in marketing roles at Three and Vodafone in Australia.
