Group Managing Director Peter Dunlop celebrates 25 years at ITL
Innovative Technology’s (ITL) Group Managing Director, Peter Dunlop, celebrates a quarter of a century at the company this month. From university placement to heading up this successful international company, Peter and his management team have developed, transformed, and established ITL as a leading cash handling and validation business with offices worldwide and several hundred employees.
Commenting on his impressive time at ITL, Peter said, “I feel honoured to head-up ITL and see how the company has progressed over the past 25 years. Our ethos is technology-driven, and we proudly offer our customers the most advanced cash validation, recycling and more recently, biometrics solutions in the industry. The industry is constantly changing and adapting to customers’ needs and expectations and I look forward to continuing my role and being part of its exciting future.”
Peter first joined the company on a university placement year in 1995 and was assigned to work on a project to develop a new electronic chip for use in banknote validators. Peter impressed everyone to such an extent that he was invited back to join ITL as a permanent employee after he graduated from the University of Manchester in 1996. Peter began in the Development team in Royton, UK which gradually grew over the years, and he climbed his way up the ladder, eventually becoming Development Manager responsible for a team of mechanical, electronic and software engineers and new product development. Peter then progressed to the more strategic position of Group Technical Director, before finally being promoted to Group Managing Director in 2017. Peter oversees the company’s strategic direction and the day-to-day management of the group and has been key to ITL’s success and growth due to his leadership ability and focus on technology-driven products and services.
Peter is rarely away from the UK head office in Oldham but when he does take some time out, he can be found unwinding on his boat that is moored at Pwllheli in North Wales. Peter’s boat isn’t just for relaxation purposes, he and its crew compete in a number of races on the high seas and have successfully won a number of times!
ITL Chairman, David Bellis MBE, said “Peter’s expertise, commitment and knowledge is an integral part of our success. He is an absolute pleasure to work with and it has been an honour to witness how he has developed both himself as an individual and the company over the past 25 years. He is one of my longest standing employees, an incredibly competent and capable engineer, manager and leader and I look forward to seeing where he will take the company in the coming years.”

Elections, Bitcoin, and the Australian Open: Slotegrator breaks down prediction markets in new ebook
Annual trading volume in the prediction market vertical grew from $500 million to $64 billion in only three years. What’s behind their explosive popularity? In a new ebook, Slotegrator lays out why this latest evolution in betting has so much appeal for players and what operators need to consider before launching their own prediction market.
Why have prediction markets captured so much attention? In a new downloadable ebook, Slotegrator lays out the factors behind the vertical’s popularity, analyzes how prediction markets are disrupting the modern betting landscape, and provides a checklist to help readers decide if
the time is right for them to add a prediction market to their platform.
In the ebook, Slotegrator highlights generational shifts in preferences and behavior, such as the increase in younger players who are familiar with trading and financial markets, as one of the main drivers in the rise of the format. There’s also a widespread change in values; players view the P2P exchange mechanic, in particular, as a more transparent form of betting than wagering against the house.
“Today, the audience’s attention shifts in real time across platforms, and digital experiences evolve constantly. If you’re not actively tracking where engagement is moving, you’re not just behind the trend — you’re already losing relevance in the market,” comments Olga Ivanchik, COO of Slotegrator.
Opinion-based betting allows users to trade literally any event from politics to current events. The pursuit of getting a more interactive, dynamic, and fair experience is reflected in prediction market mechanics: the odds in this type of betting are not set by the house but fluctuate in accordance with supply and demand — players bet against each other, and the platform generates revenue on commissions based on the amount of bets.
“This transition eliminates the old conflict of interest and gives us a more transparent, equitable, and stimulating experience where value is defined by the market itself”, says Maksym Shtun, Product Owner at Slotegrator.
The report provides analytics with key figures, regulatory notes, expert comments, and an explanation of the mechanics involve. It also includes useful tips for readers:
- A checklist that will help operators understand whether they need prediction markets on
their platform - Tips and recommendations on the events for betting by region
- Comparison of prediction market mechanics with classic sportsbooks
- Analysis of relevant psychological factors
- Breakdown of how exactly how prediction markets generate revenue
