It is with regret that Peterborough Speedway announce that Co-Promoter and Commercial Director, Mick Bratley has decided to step down from his roles with the club. 

Bratley has been instrumental in raising the profile of Peterborough Panthers in the city and generating commercial sponsorship well in excess of six figures from a zero starting point, when he arrived at the club with Club Captain Hans Andersen for the start of the 2006 season.

On his departure, Bratley said: "I have worked really hard for the current owner of the club and I am extremely proud of my efforts.  Peterborough Speedway now has a continuous rich vein of commercial sponsorship coming into the club for which it is also very reliant upon.  I've enjoyed my time and I would like to particularly thank the many people behind the scenes who tirelessly keep the club running."

Bratley is expected to remain within the sport by continuing his close management role with present Panthers captain Hans Andersen.
