After serving as an instructor in Avionics in the Royal Air Force, Alan graduated from Loughborough University. The variety of teaching methods he experienced benefitted him in his approach to the way individuals and organisations learn. 

 

Alan spent several successful years as a teacher, the MD of a clothing business and Director of Marketing of a leading law firm, combined with international rugby union, coaching England and Wales. 

 

A founder member of Telos Partners, Alan grew fascinated by the way people can achieve long-term success by developing a clarity of purpose and values, articulating it to their team, then helping them to achieve success.

 

He helped to establish The Telos Foundation, to sustain the legacy of sustainable success for leaders of charitable organisations into the future.

Peter qualified as a chartered accountant and spent 15 years as a partner with Deloitte and, through merger, Coopers & Lybrand (now PwC). 

 

He was a member of the Tomorrow’s Company Inquiry. This inspired him to move to consulting on the development of businesses and organisations to achieve long-term sustainable success. 

 

Peter works internationally with chief executives on the transformation of their businesses and their growth, both organically and through acquisition. The long-term nature of the pursuit of sustainable success means that relationships with key executives span many years. 

 

Peter has been integral to the development of The Telos Foundation to support the sustainable success of the leaders of charities.
