Alex Stephens, the director of business development at IGT-UK has been appointed to the company's executive committee with responsibility for the Million-2-1 business following the departure earlier this year of Chris Sheffield.

Stephens has previous management experience as a business analyst and subsequently financial controller at Teradyne Diagnostic Solutions, and prior to his appointment as business development head at IGT was the company's head of commercial finance.

Group Vice President Robert White said the appointment will allow IGT-UK to build on the successful acquisition of Million-2-1 and focus on the next level of growth from its mobile gaming business.
