The Hut Group reorganises games and tech team with new recruits

Zavvi’s parent company The Hut Group has restructured its games and tech team, with key new recruits.

Former senior buyer Mike Fethers will lead the new team as head of technology and games. He is joined by Martyn Plant, who has been appointed junior buyer. Plant has been part of The Hut Group for four years, previously as part of its marketplace team.

Kate Livingston is the team’s new graduate buyer, while former games buyer Deen Olokodana has moved internally to manage the group’s white label websites.

As a part of the merger between tech and games, Sam Philips has joined as technology buyer.

We’ve seen incredible growth this year within games and we’re making sure the team are in a position to continue this growth,” said Fethers.

Merging the tech and games team allows us to leverage our supplier base and make the most of our experienced team.”
