He has worked with a wide range of blue chip clients from both the public and private sector, and has provided learning consultancy support to organisations as diverse as the University of the West Indies and the Chartered Institute of Management. Now, as Principal of Wolsey Hall, he brings this experience to bear to ensure that Wolsey Hall students get the best possible learning experience.

In his spare time Lee can often be found walking the fells of the Lake District - his favourite place in the world - or challenging all comers to a game of table tennis.

 Peter Newell, Director of Operations

Peter took his law degree from the University of Oxford, qualified as a Barrister and then took an MBA at Columbia University in New York. He pioneered the launch of the world's first distance learning MBA in conjunction with the University of Warwick Business School and helped to develop Wolsey Hall as a major provider of management development courses to organisations such as British Airways, Her Majesty's Prison Service, Lloyds TSB and Shell Exploration and Production.

Last year he and three Oxford friends cycled from Land's End to John O'Groats, about 920 miles, something he feels everyone should do at least once in their life. His family thought he was 'nuts', but they were happy to indulge him!
