Originally qualified as a Chartered Production Engineer, Peter was engaged for many years in the field of industrial engineering and business management before taking up a position in 1974 with the company then known as Hambro Life (who became Allied Dunbar, and who are now part of the Zurich Intermediary Group). Peter spent 10 years with this company before taking up an appointment as a partner in the Rugby-based practice, Perry Hawking's Associates.

In 1999 Peter joined forces with another practice in Rugby, namely O'Meara Johnson Financial Services Ltd. who were part of a national network named Berkeley Independent Advisors Ltd. When this network practice ceased to trade in March 2006, Peter decided to establish his own practice and became a member of the largest national network for Independent Financial Advisors, namely Interdependence Ltd., who are part of a holding company, Tenet Group.

Given his business background, Peter has specialised during the past 32 years in providing a wide range of financial planning services to his clientele. Working closely with clients' other professional advisors, namely Accountants and Solicitors in particular, he has endeavoured to provide a specialised and personal approach to estate and financial planning, and tax mitigation for his clientele.

Many clients have maintained a long term relationship with Peter for many years, both under his present practice of PFB Financial Planning, and during previous years of his business career. His retention of clientele has been exemplary.
