[Peter Mitry]

I am also married and have been living in Spain on the Costa del Sol for 11 years; my father is Egyptian and I have a brother in Atlanta who is a management consultant and a cousin who is Europes No 1 Plastic Surgeon, based in Harley St in London. I have many other cousins in the USA, in England and in the UAE. My wife and I have been married for 40 years and our son and his wife and our two grandaughters live opposite. We have six more grand children in the UK from our youngest son who was unfortunately killed in a motor accident 10 years ago.

Following many years in senior sales and marketing positions in a number of top FMCG companies I joined Watney Combe Reid in London in the 80's as major account director and later became Operations director for the Clifton Inns Division of Grand Metropolitan Group running 180 pubs, wine bars and night clubs in the Midland and South of England.

In 1992 I became Managing Director of a company operating cellulite and weight loss centres all over the UK; in the following three years we began franchising this operation and built up 154 franchisees in 29 countries. Later I joined a Manchester based research group as MD. We developed machines for non surgical face lifts using electrical impulses which were marketed to the beauty industry. Having floated the company in 1996 I had the option of remaining as MD with a substantial shareholding or taking a one off payment and bowing out. I chose the latter and moved to Spain. In the early years we ran a successful mail order company, followed by several years in a consultancy role for MacDonald Hotels and for Gibraltar Nynex (the telephone company in Gibraltar). In 1992 I formed a real estate brokerage and the rest you know!! The photos are now and one of me in 1987 so you can see the degeneration of just 20 years!!
