Peter L Murphy Chairman
Peter founded Cavendish & Gloucester Plc in 1972, initially with the purpose of establishing a portfolio of commercial and residential investment properties, many of which were tenanted. Refurbishments and property conversions were the mainstay of the business.

Building upon this experience, Cavendish & Gloucester Plc expanded into the commercial office park, industrial and residential property markets.

One of Peter’s proudest achievements is the redevelopment of Netley Castle in Southampton, originally built for Henry VIII, Cavendish & Gloucester Plc converted it into luxury highly specified apartments.
