Over the seven years, the FEG business has grown more than five times in size and the Group has become a leading licensed omni-channel betting and gaming operator in CEE region.
„I would like to thank Per for his great contribution and hard work. FEG is one of the biggest platforms in Penta´s portfolio.

As shareholders, we are strongly determined to support the further growth of the Group“, Iain Child, the Managing Partner of Penta Investments said.
“Seven years is indeed a long time and there are so many people I would like to thank for having been with me and FEG during this journey, be it our customers, business partners or other stakeholders. In particular, I would like to thank all the fantastic employees who have made FEG to the great company it is today as well as to thank Penta Investments for their great support and collaboration. Leaving FEG at this time feels right, in particular knowing that the company is well poised for further growth as well as being in very good hands with David Vaněk and the rest of the Group Executive team“, said Per Widerstrom.
