Chairman of Membership Committee - Commander Peter Aylott MA MNI RN

I joined the Honourable Company in 2005 whilst still serving in the Royal Navy and in Command of a Minor War Vessel.  I was Chair of the Education and Training Committee from 2010 to 2018 and, in 2021, took the Chair of the Membership Committee. My focus alongside the Strategic Plan deliverables is engaging with the younger members and ensuring that the values and traditions of the Livery are maintained.

Having served in the Royal Navy for 16 years as a Specialist Navigator, I left the service in 2007 and worked commercially in the marine offshore services sector, leading a global company that specialized in ship and crew management of sophisticated offshore assets, to a consultancy practice covering Dynamic Positioning (DP) audits and verification to a world leading DP training organisation.  The oil price correction from 2014 caused a change of career and I was appointed CEO of the largest English fishing company in Cornwall.  Having sold this company in 2019, I was appointed the Director of Policy at the Chamber of Shipping in 2020.

My interests revolve around my youngish family, but I have a cricket obsession which still sees me on a cricket field from time to time and a burgeoning interest in gardening.
