CEO leaves Dolphins cricket
The former sports marketing and sponsorship expert is relocating to New Zealand.
HAVING been in the position as CEO of the Sunfoil Dolphins for a little over a year, Pete de Wet’s reign at the franchise will come to an end at the end of July when he and his family relocate to New Zealand.
The former sports marketing and sponsorship expert, who started at Sahara Stadium Kingsmead in April 2015, brought with him an element of freshness during his short command as he looked to realise the goal of the Dolphins becoming the number one franchise in South Africa.
“The decision to leave the Sunfoil Dolphins is a purely personal one and has been an extremely difficult one that I, together with my young family, have thought long and hard about. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time with the Dolphins and believe our plans to achieve our ultimate goal is starting to gather momentum so it is disappointing to hand over the reins so soon,” he said.
De Wet was also proud of the KwaZulu-Natal Cricket Union’s recognition at the KZN Sports Awards when the Union won the prestigious KZN Federation of the Year Award.
“There have been some great highs and a few challenges during my time here in Durban but on a whole I am confident that the pathway the Franchise is on is one that will ultimately see the Dolphins become a force to be reckoned with, something that the players, coaches, administrators, sponsors and fans alike all want,” he said.
The search for De Wet’s successor is already underway and will be announced in due course.
