Bull joined Ladbrokes as CFO in July 2011, and agreed to stay with the business until the announcement of the 2015 full year results last week.
On 24 July 2015, Ladbrokes and Coral announced their intention to merge, and it was agreed that Paul Bowtell, Coral's CFO, would become finance director of the combined business.
Paying tribute to Bull, Peter Erskine, chairman of Ladbrokes, said: “Ian has worked tirelessly through what have been challenging times and has helped steer Ladbrokes to this exciting point in its journey.
“We are pursuing an aggressive organic plan to build a stronger Ladbrokes as well as working on the proposed merger with the Coral Group, which will create a leading betting and gaming business and deliver substantial synergies.”
