Hyve Group has paid tribute to its head of growth for Bett, Max Oliver who tragically suffered a fatal cardiac arrest on his way to work last week. He was 31-years-old.
Hyve CEO, Mark Shashoua (pictured with Oliver above) said: “Words can hardly put into context our depth of sadness at the news that Max passed away so suddenly. He was ambitious, passionate about doing great work, intelligent, friendly, a team player and an all-around positive energy.
“I, along with the rest of the Hyve team, have been devastated by the news, however, he leaves an enormous legacy here and we feel lucky to have shared some memorable moments with him. My deepest condolences go out to Max’s fiancée, family, friends, and all who knew him.”
Nikki Griffiths, group communications and ESG director at Hyve Group said: “The mark that Max has made on our Bett series of events is immeasurable and was fuelled by his genuine care for his customers and his drive to improve education around the world. His belief, passion, ambition and talent as head of growth played a pivotal role in shaping Bett into the force for good it is today.
“A keen rugby player in his spare time, Max was a leader both on the pitch and at Bett. His positive energy and innovative spirit inspired all who had the privilege of working with him. He dedicated himself to seeing others fulfil their full potential. Work or rugby, everyone wanted to be on Max’s team.”
In Oliver’s memory, a Just Giving page has been set up by his close friends at his beloved Bishop’s Stortford Rugby Club to raise funds for Cardiac Risk in the Young.
