Peter Cowley, OH 1964-73

Peter Cowley, OH 1964-73 has sadly passed away peacefully, after a heroic battle with cancer. We had the privillege of meeting him at our Cambridge events, most recently in March this year.

He was an extraordinary businessman, who had endured many personal challenges.  He spoke to us about his life at the start of the year, when he had been sadly diagnosed with terminal cancer.  He was about to publish his book, 'Public Success, Private Grief' and was embarking on a trip to Antartica, where he slept in the snow.

He was an incredibly positive and resilient man, who lived by the motto:

Don't waste your life: Grasp opportunities, contribute to others' lives, but also find time for yourself.
