    Author

    Peter Jones

    Peter Jones spent several years working as a consultant in credit card banking, fixing various issues in high-profile organisations. Peter’s outlook on life changed dramatically when Kate, his wife of 2 years and 3 months, passed away due to a brain haemorrhage. He left his job in finance to follow his passions. Peter lives just a few miles outside London. He doesn't own a large departmental store and probably isn't the same guy you've seen on Dragons' Den.
