Pete is an investment and development professional with over 35 years’ experience in the property sector, the last decade spent in a private equity fund. He holds a BSc in Urban Land Management from The University of Reading, has career-long professional membership of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors, and is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts. A particular interest in social justice and equality of opportunity has seen him hold senior non-executive positions in an NHS mental health Trust, 2 housing associations, a national learning disability Charity, and a start-up Community Benefit Society. And, against many friends’ better judgement, he’s had an independent record label, recording studio and put on indie club nights around London.
