Peter started in
broadcasting whilst still at Oxford University back in the 60's and
became a sports reporter in the days of the BBC Home Service... so
that dates him. But his early claim to fame came whilst working for
ATV in Birmingham when he invented a children's programme called
Tiswas and presented it with Chris Tarrant for 4 years.
He went on to run a
number of commercial radio stations, and founded SAGA Radio
in 2001 to provide a radio station for the 50+ population of the
West Midlands. The famous Birmingham Children's Hospital made
him a Director in 2005 and he created The Red Balloon Appeal
two years later.
Peter became The
High Sheriff of the County of West Midlands from 2007 - 2008 and is
now a Deputy Lieutenant.
