Pete Toye is a notable entrepreneur within the UK's prize draw sector, currently serving as a Board Member of the Prize Competition Council (PCC), a trade association dedicated to promoting self-regulation and player protection in the industry. In this capacity, he contributes to setting responsible standards and developing sector-wide guidance for prize draw operators.

He is also a key figure at The GiveAway Guys (registered as The Online Giveaway Guys Ltd.), an online competition platform he co-founded. The company, which started in late 2019, offers opportunities to win various prizes, including cars, motorbikes, and holidays, and emphasizes transparency through live draws on social media.

Toye's entrepreneurial journey began at a remarkably young age, launching his first business, a car wash company, at just 14 years old. This early start instilled in him resilience and adaptability. He subsequently ventured into other businesses, including a print business, before finding significant success with the online competition platform. Beyond the prize draw sector, he has also expanded his business interests into property investment, building a substantial portfolio.
