<br>The relocation comes simply days after William Hill's primary executive, James Henderson, was ousted from the UK's biggest betting store operator following a series of earnings cautions.<br>
<br>Mr Henderson, who took the helm in August 2014, had actually stopped working to fix problems in the [firm's struggling](https://gitlab.cranecloud.io/clarabosch8916) online organization.<br>
