Peter was known as the man who literally put the Rosemere into RosemereCF and the LancsHospitals treatment centre. He has died aged 80 after a short illness. ❤️
Back in 1997 when the centre first opened it was called the Lancashire and Lakeland Cancer Centre.
Peter thought none good enough so came up with Rosemere, a name he coined by combining the red rose of Lancashire with the meres of the Lake District. It also led to Peter serving a three-year tenure on Rosemere Cancer Foundation’s management committee until his appointment as National President of the British Chambers of Commerce, which involved a lot of foreign travel, made it impossible for him to continue.His support for Rosemere Cancer Foundation never wavered though and he returned as chairman in 2018, steering the charity through the difficult years of the Covid pandemic.
“His thinking behind the Rosemere name was genius. From the outset, the cancer centre, supported by the foundation, had ambitions to provide the same world class services as the North West’s two other regional specialist cancer treatment centres, Manchester’s Christie and Merseyside’s Clatterbridge.
