We have recently been instructed by employees at Sky Bet and Hestview Ltd to advise on settlement agreements in light of redundancies affecting approximately 300 roles.
If you work at Sky Betting & Gaming (SBG) or Hestview Ltd and are facing possible redundancy, call Ison Harrison Solicitors today for a FREE no-obligation chat on 0113 284 5000 or email employment@isonharrison.co.uk.
Sky Betting & Gaming is a major player in the UK’s online gambling industry, known for its strong focus on digital innovation and user-friendly platforms. Based in Leeds, the company has grown rapidly since its launch in 2001 and now operates several well-known brands that attract millions of users across the UK.
However, recent instructions to our employment team suggest that significant redundancies are underway, with around 300 roles reportedly affected across tech, marketing and operations. These redundancies are understood to involve Hestview Ltd, the data controller for Sky Bet.
A settlement agreement (formerly known as a compromise agreement) may be offered as part of a redundancy package. This is a legally binding contract between an employer and employee, where the employee agrees not to pursue certain legal claims (typically related to unfair dismissal or discrimination) in exchange for a financial settlement. We encourage employees to negotiate the terms, especially the financial aspects.
