Retired British Army officer, General Sir Peter Wall, has a military insight unlike any other. He is credited for leading the Army through one of the most testing transformations in its history, an experience that he discusses as a popular after dinner speaker. Recipient of the Knight Commander of the Order of the Bath, Peter is no stranger to prestigious accolades, making this speaker highly respectable. In 1974, Peter graduated from the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst. He then joined the Royal Engineers, followed by the airborne forces. Travelling across the world, Peter was later appointed Captain in 1980 and Major in 1987. A year later, in 1988, he was promoted again to Chief of Staff of the 5th Airborne Brigade and Commander of the 9 Parachute Squadron in 1990.
Peter showed no signs of slowing down, and rose through the ranks again to Commanding Officer of 32 Engineer Regiment in 1994. As a speaker, Peter takes his audience on a journey through his thrilling career, which has spanned continents, military positions and divisions. Boasting an incredibly diverse range of roles, event guests are greatly interested by this speaker's experiences. In celebration of his services, Peter was appointed OBE in 1994. However, despite the accolade, his work was not done, and only a year later he was in the Former Republic of Yugoslavia as a Colonel. For his contribution in the role, Peter was then awarded the Queen's Commendation for Valuable Service.
In 1999, he commanded the 24 Airmobile Brigade, before becoming Chief of Joint Force Operations in 2001 - marking Peter's ascension into high command. Following his appointment as CBE, he served as Chief of Staff of the National Contingent, General Officer Commanding 1st Armoured Division, Deputy Chief of the Defence Staff and Chief Royal Engineer. Due to his highly successful career, Peter is regarded as an authority on operational command, institutional career, commerce and the public sector, topics that his corporate audiences greatly benefit from. Inspiring, insightful and interesting, he is as confident in front of a large audience as a small boardroom, few speakers can embody Peter's commanding presence.
