Flutter UKI Values Awards 2024

On the launch of our new values, we asked our colleagues to nominate people across our division that they felt best embodied each one.

We shared recently that Soraya Niculescu and Alex Murphy were first crowned as our winners who best exemplified ALL of our values and were invited to join the Flutter Entertainment Plc NYSE celebrations in New York, as part of their prize! See how they got in in our video below. 

We now have MORE winners to recognise after our awards took place with CEO Ian Brown hosting live from our Hammersmith office. 

All of our winners won a £500 experience voucher, along with a few more little treats on the day with our team winners getting up to £1500 to spend as a group on an event or experience of their choosing.
