Lee Peck takes over at LPG

Lee Peck is taking the helm at Leepeckgroup after buying out his business partner Stuart Greenfield for an undisclosed sum.

The Southampton based firm, which employs more than 20 people, is to be renamed the Leepeck Group, and managing director Sue Thomas and PR director Alyson Marlow are to become shareholders.

The move follows a succession of new business wins including National Boat Shows, which runs the Southampton and London boat shows; the UK’s largest gym chain Fitness First and regional law firm Moore Blatch.

Mr Peck said: “I have been reviewing the business for a few months and Stuart and I have agreed that after eight years of great success the time is right to go our separate ways. He is entrepreneurial and moving onto other things and I am the PR guy. This is what I do and needless to say I am really excited about taking the business forward in this new configuration. The team here and our clients have been really supportive.”

Mr Greenfield said: “It’s part of my life plan really – there’s no more to it than that. The timing is perfect. I wish Lee every success for the future.”
