Degree 53 strengthens team with two directors and 12 new hires

Degree 53, specialists in UX, design and software development, are excited to announce that they have promoted two existing team members, Bav Patel and Peter Stringer, to directors. The company has also made 12 new hires over the last three months, all whilst working remotely. This restructure adds more strength and extra support to the wider team.
Bav Patel has taken on the role of Technical Director – Web and Infrastructure, having been with the company for over six years and playing a key role in its web development services. With over 13 years’ experience, Bav will be driving the web and infrastructure offering for the business.
Peter Stringer has been promoted to Technical Director – Mobile. He joined the business when the team at Degree 53 were still part of the Betfred mobile division in 2012. Peter brings a wealth of app development experience across multiple platforms and will be leading the company’s mobile services.
In addition, Degree 53 has brought in new recruits to increase capacity across the board. They include Web and App Developers, Quality Assurance, Project Managers, UX Designer and a Business Analyst. All new starters have a great background in working with digital products and bring experience from a number of industries, whether from an agency or in-house.
This recruitment drive came from the need to provide additional support to client projects and expand the company’s capacity despite the lockdown. Degree 53 have been continuously working on projects throughout the recent months thanks to existing clients increasing their demand for digital services and some exciting new business wins.
Richard Wagstaff, Managing Director at Degree 53 comments: “I’m delighted to recognise the great work both Bav and Peter have been doing. Their promotions are a testament to their expertise in their respective fields and delivering successful projects for our clients. I also want to welcome our new team members and look forward to meeting them face-to-face in the coming weeks. It’s been a tough few months for many businesses, and I’m glad we’ve been able to grow our team during this period whilst retaining all our employees.”
“As we’re cementing our reputation in a number of industries, such as online gambling, lottery, finance and wellbeing, all of our new hires are a fantastic addition to the business. They have already shown great determination to learn and get stuck into projects working from home. These changes will no doubt strengthen our delivery capability and enhance our offering too.”

During the ride, Tiago opens up about:
- How he found his path and his journey from architecture and computer science to marketing.
- The history of LeBull.
- Portugal vs. Brazil: same language, different mindset: why copy-paste doesn’t work and true localization is key.
- The idea behind the LeBull Night Show, a weekly late-night comedy event.
- His failed marketing project.
- Trusting younger generations.
- His previous approach to marketing when he joined Betano in 2017.
- Why the Portuguese sports betting market relies on the casino vertical.
- The next chapter for affiliation.
- Network or Not Work: mascots, localization, and keeping support teams local.
- A small personal detail that’s still quietly visible online for those who know where to look.
- His Champion Rule: move forward with an “I need to get this done” mindset. Whatever happens, don’t stop. Stay consistent, keep moving forward, and the results will follow.
“Tiago showed us how to win a new market with discipline, curiosity, and the courage to keep moving forward,” said Krazhan.
