Pete is particularly excited to bring his extensive network and insight to Chiptech at a time of expansion and innovation. He says, “I’ve always admired Chiptech’s commitment to quality and customer care, and I’m thrilled to join a team that shares my passion for making a real difference in people’s lives. The opportunities to expand and enhance Chiptech’s impact in Europe are vast, and I’m eager to help shape that journey.”
Life Outside of TEC
Life beyond the office often sees Pete discovering new destinations across the globe. His travels have taken him far and wide, and he is always looking for his next adventure.
Pete has a deep love of music, and he is an active DJ on the European Rare Soul scene, bringing the sounds of his extensive rare vinyl collection to the masses, spinning vinyl at events and sharing his love of the genre with fellow enthusiasts.
On top of his musical pursuits, Pete has a long-standing support for Leicester City Football Club. A dedicated fan through the ups and downs of the team’s history.
