DNB Main notes for Peter Minshall
Short Biography (by him):
Peter Minshall (son of Merlin Theodore Minshall) was born in 1956 into a military family and was educated in England, Scotland and Australia. He started out in the Royal Marines and won the coveted Green Beret but following injury was invalided from the Service.
To recover from his injuries, he worked in New Zealand and Australia as a roustabout, kitchen porter, steward and forestry labourer before taking up a Commission in the Royal Australian Navy, where he served at sea for eleven years mainly on operations conducted in the Far East. He gained a full bridge watch-keeping certificate, a Diploma of Maritime Studies and qualified as an assistant principal warfare officer before completing Commanding Officers' designate major fleet unit training. He was the Executive Officer of a fast patrol boat during two cyclones off the northern coast of Queensland. Peter had a key planning role organising the post Falklands War HMS Invincible task force visit to Australia, then served for a period as Flag Lieutenant to the Admiral Commanding HM Australian Fleet in Shanghai.
On return to Scotland he spent twenty years working in both the business and voluntary sector, starting off as the honorary publicity officer for a national military charity. During this time he was general manager and then managing director of a teleworking centre in Argyll before spending five years in Glasgow as a project manager for a military institution where he was responsible for the creation of a security centre, which remains its Scottish headquarters today. He then joined a children's cancer charity in Glasgow and worked as their fundraising manager for the west of Scotland for three years before joining a children's cerebral palsy charity, where he was promoted to Chief Executive. During this time he lived on a small yacht on the Clyde weekly commuting home to Argyll.
He then took up the post of Chief Executive for the council for voluntary organisations in Argyll and worked for three years introducing and planning the need for cross sector working and integration between key agencies. Operating in areas of regeneration he developed a keen interest in the social issues affecting community development. As a consequence, he became a full time post graduate MA student in Glasgow and read Arts in Social Contexts at the RSAMD (his elective was Arts in Education). His study allowed him to define a more strategic interest in the culture of communications in a community development context, demonstrating creatively the potential for education to broker the link with social enterprise. He was awarded a distinction and nominated as Leverhulme Emergent Leader.
Operating as a successful project research consultant, he is now open to pursuing opportunities for a funded PhD studentship in practical applied research, for it is the social practicalities needed for community development that interests him most. Peter Minshall is married and has two teenage sons. He is a recipient of the Australian Defence Medal and is the author of the novel Whispering Children 'Mankind's Future - a Point of View' (a view of harmony between nations seen through the eyes of children) published in 2006.
