Peter Headley, MA, BA has had a career mainly in the export sector globally covering over 40 years in fields such as food processing, renewable energy, environment management and Trade Commissioner Service. Since his retirement he has been giving lectures at WEA since 2012 and also to outside groups such as U3A, Probus and as a lecturer with Princess Cruises since 2008. He has had a life long interest in history and cultures, and his talks reflect this interest and good fortune in visiting and researching many of his talks on site. He has an engaging presentational style and encourages audience participation/contribution. Notably his presentations contain a higher pictorial/media content than what might be normally encountered. Peter aims to not only educate his audience and to bring alive the times and subject of his talk, but to inspire an ongoing interest by his audience.
