In Peter's own words

Peter joined Leckhampton Parish Council in 2018, and acts as Chair of the Air Pollution committee.

He has over 35 years' experience in the marketing services industry and has an Executive MBA. Peter moved to Cheltenham in the 1990s and founded a business here in 2002 that's been one of the fastest growing businesses in Gloucestershire for 15 years, creating more than 120 local jobs in Cheltenham in that time.

Peter has lived in the Leckhampton ward for the last 8 years, and stepped back from full-time work in 2017, although continues to work part-time as a business and marketing consultant.

Peter has a degree in Biology and Ecology and has been interested in green issues since the 1970s. His main priorities on the Parish Council are working on air pollution and sustainable transport, and enhancing Leckhampton's green spaces. He's also one of the founding members of Clean Air Cheltenham.

In his spare time, he enjoys cycling, walking and growing organic vegetables.
