Peter is PBEC’s immediate past Board of Director who recently stepped down to take up a new role as China Britain Business Council Chief Executive.
“It is a little more than a week since I collected my lanyard and security pass and joined the talented team of the China-Britain Business Council as the new CEO. I am acutely conscious of the 70 year history and the rich legacy that have been passed my way. CBBC has a reputation for membership focus, thought leadership and professional execution.
My job is to build on these foundations and to ensure that CBBC remains the most authoritative private-sector voice on the trade and investment flows between the United Kingdom and China and continues to place our members’ business interests at the heart of everything we do.
I went to Hong Kong on a three-month employment secondment in 1995. In fact, I stayed there until just last week. My personal and professional life has been completely shaped by the economic growth and business opportunities of China, including, of course, by the special role of the Special Administrative Region of Hong Kong.”
