How much do you know about Paddy Power? Lots of people think they know all about us, but there are many aspects of our business that people are unaware of.
We are the biggest online gaming provider in Ireland, and one of the top 5 in the UK, despite only having launched there in 2001.Very few people realise just how diverse our business has become. In the last few years we have launched into new and diverse product sectors, including Financial Spread Betting, Online Bingo, Sports Risk Management Services and most recently Business 2 Business (B2B) trading services.
We have also started to expand beyond the UK & Ireland, and in 2009 the most significant step in this expansion saw Paddy Power announce its entry into the highly attractive Australian betting market by acquiring 51% of Sportsbet. Sportsbet has operated in Australia for more than 14 years and is licensed in the Northern Territory by the Northern Territory Racing Commission (NTRC).
In November 2009 Paddy Power also announced its first large scale B2B deal in which it will provide the French horse racing pools operator (PMU) with sports pricing and risk management services. PMU is the largest betting organisation in Europe with €9.3 billion of turnover in 2008 generated through 10,000 retail outlets as well as its remote sales channels.
As we continue to grow, we stay true to our core principles of offering great products and treating customers fairly. In doing so, the biggest single challenge we face is recruiting people who think like we do and have the same growth ambitions. Paddy Power is a publicly quoted company, listed on both the Irish and London Stock Exchanges, with a turnover of over €2bn and profits before tax of €79m in 2008.
Paddy Power currently employs over 2,000 people - and we are continuing to hire!
