Meet Our Team
Chris Scott
Senior Director (Tottenham)
Chris has been a leading light in the Jennings empire for over 20 years now. His love of the betting ring being nurtured since his early days at Walthamstow Dogs. He moved swiftly through the ranks to establish himself as the Senior Director of Joe Jennings Tele-bet. However, his drive and determination to succeed is surpassed by his love of fine wine and appetizing gastronomy.
Steve Preece
Account Manager (Tottenham)
Steve joined in 2005 as a young, starry eyed employee looking to impress. He has seen many changes over the years but has managed to keep the “Glass half full” outlook that he his famed for. With Steve there is always a bright side. A problem is not a problem but a challenge and with all challenges comes opportunity. That is just one of the many nonsensical phrases that Steve is also famed for.
Kevin Payne
Senior Trader (Arsenal)
Kevin has now completed 13 years of service to Joe Jennings, in different guises. He is now a respected senior trader forming part of the decision-making team for the business. They say, sometimes, that your name represents your character and in Kevin’s case this is undoubtably true.
Jago Page
Senior Trader (Arsenal)
Where do we start with Jago? Well, his name, as unusual as it is, could easily be changed to Yoyo due to the number of times he has left and come back. However, Jago’s name is firmly rooted in the history of Jennings. He is synonymous with not only hard work and endeavour but numerous responses of confusion when asked his name by clients.
Christine Rutherford
Financial Controller (Swansea City)
A proud Welsh woman, Christine has been controlling the purse strings at Joe Jennings for as long as we can remember. She has an infectious laugh that will brighten up even the dullest of days and keeps all her boys in check with regards to the expense account!
Kevin Mulligan
Trader (Liverpool)
An important member of the Tele-bet team, “Mully” brings a wealth of knowledge and experience with him. He has lived and breathed this industry for over 30 years and yet still he has the demeanour of a man just starting out. After all that time his passion doesn’t lay in horses or football though. He would prefer to pick the winner of Strictly, X Factor or I’m a Celeb!
Ben Edwards
Trader (Arsenal)
Benny was a valued member of the Tele-bet team way back when before deciding to further his career as a shop manager. He came back to us, tail between his legs, January 2020. He is known for his impeccable timekeeping, his attention to detail and an uncanny ability to hear a chocolate wrapper open from 30 feet away.
Les Gillham
Trader (West Ham)
Les or Lesapedia as he is known, is a man of many talents and has an ability to pick up the phone before it even rings. He, like Mully, brings a wealth of knowledge but, unlike Mully, his knowledge of horses is second to none. However, as an arm chair West Ham fan, Les is convinced they have a chance to win the league. The way things are going this season we would agree with him…….. The Championship.
Jason Scott
Trader (Tottenham)
Jason’s first impression when coming for his interview consisted of a huge coffee stain on his pristine white shirt. This was due to a nervous wait in the car park. Since then, he has shown nerves of steel and a steady hand, which has been great news for us and even better news for our clients who have instantly taken to his outgoing and knowledgeable demeanour.
Furthermore, Jason has proved himself invaluable early on in his career with Joe Jennings. We feel lucky to have him as an important member of our team.
Regan Innes
Trader (Arsenal)
Regan has been a breath of fresh air since joining the team in January 2024. His youthful exuberance and demeanour has really rubbed off on the rest of us. We have now taken to wearing our caps back to front, wearing our trousers halfway down our legs and referring to “urban” dictionary to try to understand what he is talking about.
What we do understand is that Regan has given his all in the short time that he has been here and our clients are seeing the benefits of his enthusiasm and willingness to learn all aspects of the industry.
Lauren Fydanakis
Compliance (Barcelona)
Lauren Fydin Fyden Fydon Fydanakis has come in and helped us to look at everything we do, from best practise to compliance, there is nothing Lauren hasn’t made stronger. She has become so integral to our business in such a short space of time that we would be lost without her wealth of knowledge and input. Lauren has a long and rich history in the industry and we feel incredibly lucky that she sees her future with us. The only downside is, when writing emails, even Lauren signs off as “Lauren F” as we all, clearly, have trouble with her surname!
