Boyle Sports is stepping in as Paddy Power prepares to close 57 betting shops across the UK and Ireland, a move that will affect 247 retail staff. The independent bookmaker, which operates more than 390 locations, said it will offer guaranteed job interviews to every worker impacted by the closures.
The company is currently hiring across shop management, customer service, and operations, supported by an ongoing UK investment plan worth more than £100m that is expected to create over 1,000 roles during the next three years.

“That is why we are offering any Paddy Power retail staff impacted by recent cuts the chance to join our team with a guaranteed interview. Our commitment to the UK and Ireland is long-term and we will keep building a business that supports local people, local communities, and the industry as a whole.”
