Well, where do we start with Pete Coates? ❤️
Pete joined Dub Alchemy back in 2021 and, over the years, became far more than just an employee — he became a genuinely valued friend and a huge part of the team.
Loyal, hardworking, efficient and frighteningly good at problem solving, Pete has always had an eye for the details that others might miss. If there was a problem, Pete would usually have it figured out before the rest of us had even finished explaining it.
Of course, no Pete appreciation post would be complete without mentioning a few of his… unique qualities.
🥚 Partial to the occasional Scotch egg.
🔇 Doesn’t like loud music in the workshop — yet seemingly has no such issue when he’s in his own campervan.
🚐 Has a vehicle collection that wouldn’t look out of place in the garage of the Sultan of Brunei.
⏰ Starts work AT 8:00 and finishes AT 17:00 on the button. Not 16:59. Not 17:01. The man has standards.
🔥 And, of course, absolutely bloody loves a Madry b**r around a campfire.
Behind all the banter, though, Pete has been a massive asset to Dub Alchemy. His reliability, knowledge, work ethic and attention to detail have made a real difference to the company, and his absence is going to be felt by everyone here.
Most importantly, we’ll miss the bloke himself.
Pete — thank you for everything you’ve done since 2021, for the hard work, the laughs, the problem solving, and most of all, for being one of the good ones.
We wish you all the very best of luck as you head into your next chapter. Whatever comes next, we’re sure you’ll tackle it with the same attention to detail, determination… and probably a Scotch egg in hand.
Good luck, Pete. You’ll be missed. 🍻❤️
