| Peter Salter |  |
Peter joined Radio Guy's in 1989, with no previous broadcasting experience. Being a child of the 1940s, his interests were predominantly music from the 60s and 70s.
Although originally from Exeter, Peter has always enjoyed living in London. His work with Customs & Excise, from 1967 to 1988, started in the Thames Valley, but the bright lights of working in the City lured him to move to London to work at the C&E HQ, later followed by the City VAT office. He then moved to work for UBS and KPMG in VAT advisory positions.
An invitation in 1999 to go to Australia to help with the introduction of a new tax, similar to the UK's VAT, just could not be turned down and Peter spent six months in Melbourne and Sydney - his first visit "down-under". Peter now runs his own Indirect Tax Consultancy (see his web site below), and has time to follow his interests.
Peter has qualified as a City of London Guide, and has many other non-radio interests. These include work with the Institute of Advanced Motorists, coaching drivers to reach a police-assessed driving standard, and acting as a volunteer steward at the Globe theatre and the Spitalfields Festival productions.
