It's all going well, says chairman Mattingley.
 
The Gibraltar-based online gambling group 888 Holdings plc has issued a brief pre-close trading update on business prior to entering the close period in respect of its preliminary results for the year ending 31 December 2015.
 
Executive chairman Brian Mattingley reports that the group has continued to deliver a very encouraging performance in line with the Board's expectations.
