Peter Cartwright

Peter has a First in Electronic and Electrical Engineering from Birmingham University coupled with an MBA from Aston University. Before heading out on his own, he worked for companies such as Marconi, Touche Ross, and Nortel. He has been involved in telecommunications consulting since the early 1990s and has lived in Hungary for three years, Switzerland for 18 months and the Czech Republic for nine months on extended consulting assignments. His consulting assignments now cover a period of well over 30 years, with much of his work focussed on regulatory cost models for fixed and mobile telecommunications networks, and he brings deep technical knowledge of telecommunications network engineering to his clients.

Peter commenced freelance consulting in 1998 and has generally worked as an associate for smaller management consultancies, most recently SPC Network. His consulting clients include the telecommunications regulators in Ireland, Sweden, Denmark, Italy, Jersey and Slovenia along with operators in Cyprus, Serbia, Jordan, Hungary, Czech Republic, The Netherlands, UK, Greece, Belgium and Jersey. He is the Author of Interconnect Costing, published by BWCS, a 'how-to' handbook for interconnect professionals, which has been purchased by telecoms operators and regulators in over 80 countries worldwide.

In 2003, Peter launched a Fixed Wireless Access broadband service in rural Gloucestershire and Herefordshire. The network now covers around a dozen small towns and villages across the two counties and has even expanded into a small amount of fibre-to-the-premises deployment to a couple of local, rural business parks.

Finally, Peter is now an avid marathon runner. He completed the distance for the first time in late October 2020 which, as you will no doubt realise, had to be a 'virtual' run rather than an actual event due to Covid restrictions at the time. The following year he ran three marathons (including London and Barcelona) over a 5 week period and since then has completed around 5 or 6 a year. His current total is now (as of June 2025) 20 including five ultra marathons.
