Speakers

Peter Bellerby

Peter Bellerby is a world-renowned globemaker and founder of artisan globemakers Bellerby & Co, the only truly bespoke globemaker in the world. After a successful career in television, in 2008 Peter began his search for a special globe for his father’s 80th birthday. Not finding what he wanted, he set about making a globe himself by hand, which was the start of an arduous and fantastic journey that led to the founding of his company in 2008.
