Peter Gibson

Peter Gibson was Director of the Scottish Consumer Council (SCC) from 1977-90. During this time he played a vital role in building its foundations and reputation. His leadership secured significant achievements for Scottish consumers, building services around money advice, small claims, freedom of information, rural policy, competition in domestic air travel, and choice in education.

From 1990 onwards, Peter took on a significant research and advisory role, latterly as Director of Craigforth helping public authorities in Scotland to improve the effectiveness and enhance the quality of services they offered.  Peter died in 2005.

Created from a donation by the Scottish Consumer Council, the Peter Gibson Memorial Fund has been established to preserve his memory and carry his ideas forward.
