FSB director Richard Thorp departs
Former business development director to start new industry consultancy with friends
FSB business development director Richard Thorp has left the business after almost five years to start a new gaming industry consultancy with friends.
Thorp had his last day with the sportsbook provider last Friday after joining the London-based company back in October 2014.
He said in a LinkedIn post: “It has been a wonderful experience, helping to grow the company from having a single client when I joined, to signing up over thirty more operators across the globe who are using the platform today (with more announcements to come).
“I have huge admiration for the management team of David McDowell and Sam Lawrence and for the incredible in-depth trading knowledge of Mark Wilson and I look forward to working with them again in the future. I’d like to wish everyone I have encountered during my time at FSB, whether colleagues, clients or providers, all the very best.”

FSB confirmed the departure, with CEO David McDowell, adding: “I’d like to thank Richard for nearly five years of service and wish him all the best in his future endeavours. During his time at FSB he secured partnerships with customers on four continents and played a pivotal role in us going live with 30 websites, as well as the launch of our retail systems.
The provider will begin the search for a global chief revenue officer in the coming weeks.
FSB recently made integrated Lottoland’s jackpot games into its platform.
