Investec name Bet365 in "UK's fastest growing mid-sized companies" list.

Market information specialists Investec have named Bet365 as thirtieth in their list of their “Hot 100″ companies.

Investec’s Ed Cottrell said:

“The 2012 Investec Hot 100 is a fascinating piece of research into high-growth businesses. Some sectors stand out as strong and downturn-resistant: information technology, outsourced services, which are taking up functions formerly held within government and large corporates, and niche and budget retailers, which cater to price sensitive consumers.”

In the past year an extra 300 staff have been hired in their Stoke HQ and turnover is up an amazing £3billion. The company is still run by the Coates family, of whom Denise is the CEO.

I have been involved in the betting industry since the late 90’s and have in that time worked for a on course bookmaker (at now much missed Catford Dogs), spent time at a leading spread betting company, and worked for Betfair in their two year start-up phase.

In 2007 I co-founded iGaming supplier Hyperion Gaming with long suffering business partner Alex Lafferty.

Being involved in the industry for so long has given me a good understanding of the wonderful world of online gambling, and I put effort into giving honest opinions, that remain my own!
