Tabcorp today announced that Stephen Brassel would join the company to take up a key role in its proposed Northern Territory racing and sports bookmaking operation.

Mr Brassel joins Tabcorp following 14 years with the Sydney Swans AFL Club, where he was most recently Media and Public Relations Manager. Other key appointments to the Northern Territory business will be announced in due course.

Tabcorp will this week commence advertising for positions such as bookmakers and betting and customer service operators. The roles will be located in both Sydney and Darwin.

Tabcorp’s proposed Northern Territory-licensed racing and sports betting bookmaking business has received in-principle approval from the Northern Territory Racing Commission.
