Peter Hodcroft - Sales Executive

Peter Hodcroft – Sales Executive

I joined Gullivers in 2006 after 33 years the Royal Air Force. During my military career, I enjoyed 28 seasons as a player and official within Services cricket, culminating in Chairmanship of the RAF Cricket Association. I also organised seven overseas tours – including ‘escorting’ the RAF Ladies Team to Queensland in 2003 and managing the 2005 Combined Services visit to New Zealand.

I have been ‘hooked’ on cricket since the age of three when, on my father’s knee, I saw Jim Laker take his 10-56 in the Ashes at Old Trafford. A few years’ later, I bowled out Fred Trueman in the nets, in the days when spectators were allowed to assist in pre-play practice. I am also a fully qualified umpire, and have been lucky enough to officiate at international venues during military tours to the Caribbean and the Antipodes.

My role within Gullivers allows me to combine my passion for cricket with the opportunity to travel to watch the game in some delightful surroundings. Whilst my primary task is to propose cricket tours for schools, clubs and universities, I am also able to utilise my previous experience when we are approached by military clients – and, so far, these disciplines have included judo, rowing, table tennis and volleyball.

I look forward to the next challenge!
