 <\/p>\n

Name:<\/strong> George Heap<\/p>\n

Job Title:<\/strong> Chief of Staff<\/p>\n

How long have you worked for Colossus:<\/strong> Over 4 years.<\/p>\n

What does a typical day in your role look like?<\/strong> My main responsibilities revolve around the Colossus B2B network. It can be anything from working with our Operations department on the launch of a new sport, onboarding a new partner, or assisting with marketing strategies on a bespoke basis for the months ahead. I was very close to repeating the LinkedIn clich\u00e9 of ‘every day is different’. But it is!<\/p>\n

What is the one feature or sport you would like Colossus to add?<\/strong> I would love to see us launch Cricket pools when\u00a0 the time is right.<\/p>\n

Funniest moment working at Colossus?<\/strong> The team body pump class at the local gym gave me some mental images I\u2019ll never forget.<\/p>\n

Proudest moment working at Colossus?<\/strong> I\u2019m always proud to represent the company at external events, often overseas. It\u2019s a huge perk of the job.<\/p>\n

If you weren\u2019t a Chief Of Staff what would you be?<\/strong> I grew up with a keen interest in politics. But it gets less appealing by the year.<\/p>\n

Favourite Sport?<\/strong> Football<\/p>\n

Favourite team?<\/strong> Man Utd<\/p>\n

Favourite film?<\/strong> It’s a boring answer but Pulp Fiction. Closely followed by Mike Bassett: England Manager.<\/p>\n

Favourite TV series?<\/strong> The UK Office<\/p>\n

Top 3 albums of all time?<\/strong> The Smiths \u2013 The Queen Is Dead, Green Day \u2013 Dookie, Sex Pistols \u2013 Never Mind The Bollo#ks<\/p>\n

If you had to eat one meal for the rest of your life?<\/strong> Fresh fish by the sea.<\/p>\n

Quiet night in or loud night out?<\/strong> I’m nearly 30 now so something in the middle!<\/p>\n
