Peter has worked for a number of housing associations in the south-west and Wales on development projects including newbuild, refurb and special projects. He went on to join the private sector with a national contractor in the late 1980s. During the ensuing economic downturn, Peter and his wife built a giftware business designing, manufacturing and marketing ceramics. Ten years later, Peter had a short but glorious career surveying sewage treatment works, and has been managing the repairs and maintenance service of Monmouthshire HA for the last four years.
