Maurice Krackenbaars was the one-time marketing manager for the Potleek website, during 2001 through 2003.

He was a true entrepreneur in the nascent internet form in the late 1990s, and best remembered for his contribution to amateur cricket in the North East of England, where he was a notable beekeeper and sandwich-maker. His cheese-and-pease-pudding doorstops were the stuff of legend in the tearoom at West Wylam, often used to roll the pitch for seven minutes before a second innings.
