The Self Build Master

Posted by Pete Tonks on 3rd March 2010

Turning to page 86 of this months magazine, i happen to see a very familiar smiling face... that of, the one and only, Peter Hutchinson!

This man, without a doubt is one of the most significant names in this industry and was awarded a very well earned OBE in 2007 for his contributions to the building trade.

I have been very fortunate during my time within the industry to have spent a lot of quality time with Peter over the years as i joined Potton Limited back in August 1984 and worked there for just under 20 years and he was and still is an inspiration and also one of those general "all round nice blokes" you get to meet from time to time.....

As the article concludes, it seems only fitting that a character like Peter who has assisted thousands of families in realising their self build dreams over his lifetime can now enjoy the experience and results first hand.
