Peter Turrell
Retired Founder
The Founder of Offington, Peter, took a back seat in 2015 to focus on his dream self-build project.
​
He finally relinquished his tape and notebook and stepped down from the board in 2019, after 20 years and well into his 70s.
​
He is enjoying retirement and spending time with his wife & many grandchildren.
​
He is not directly involved with Offington now, but he stands as a benchmark of candour, wit, integrity and professionalism and moreover he keeps a watching brief and passes comment from time to time..
​
He sends his regards to all our long term clients some of whom, we are proud to say, have been with us since we were first established, back in 1999.
