We are very saddened to have learnt of the sudden death on 23rd February of our former Chairman, Professor Sir Peter Gregson. In his relatively short time at the helm he made a considerable positive impact, including overseeing the introduction of our Supporters’ Scheme.
We send our deepest condolences to Rachael and family, from all at the International Organ Festival. https://www.cranfield.ac.uk/press/news-2024/tribute-professor-sir-peter-gregson-freng-former-chief-executive-and-vice-chancellor
