This is in recognition of Peter’s contribution to business, entrepreneurship and charitable causes, and recognises the work that all the people at Towergate have put in to make such an impact in the insurance industry.
Towergate has raised over £4m since 2006 for worthy causes, in particular our partner charities: Help the Hospices, Great Ormond Street Hospital, Cancer Research, ChildLine, and a variety of military charities.
In 2008, The Peter Cullum School of Entrepreneurship was created with Cass Business School Dean, Richard Gillingwater. Through this facility Peter has made £10m available as start-up funding for their alumni.
Andy Homer, Group Chief Executive commented: “Peter’s colleagues at Towergate are delighted to learn of his award. He has long been deserving of recognition for his own innovation, which has helped reshape the insurance sector. At the same time, Peter has given so much back to the community both through Towergate’s charitable culture and via his own private charitable trust to which he has donated in excess of £20m.”
Peter Cullum said: “I am very honoured and it is flattering although I regard this accolade as testimony to the talented and dedicated people we have within the Towergate family, and the brilliant things they do every day for the business and our partner charities – they really personify our heart & soul.
When people ask me why we do so much for good causes, I say it is because we can, it’s simply the right thing to do, and it is part of our corporate DNA.”
