Bio
Matthew Mirman
While I only had the pleasure of having Pete on my team for a few months, I was constantly impressed by his enthusiasm and passion for his job. Pete eagerly took on new challenges with the kind of work ethic you love to see. Whether it was doing outreach to journalists on both a local and national level, promoting insights and data or being interviewed, Pete always put his best foot forward and represented the OddsChecker brand with great pride. Wherever Pete works, success will undoubtedly follow.
Chris Middleton
Pete is a bright, diligent, loyal and highly creative individual and it was a pleasure to see him develop professionally during our time at Betway. In what was often a difficult working environment for a Communications professional Pete never shied away from challenging the status quo in pursuit of better engagement for the brand both externally and internally. He showed a genuine interest in developing, improving and learning and it was very pleasing to see him move onwards and upwards to a better role so quickly. I look forward to following his, sure to be, successful career over the next few years.
