Peter Blakemore, Chairman A.F Blakemore & Son (Purpose Pioneers Series)

Peter Blakemore serves as Chairman (and previously Managing Director) of A.F. Blakemore & Son Ltd, a family-run enterprise founded in Wolverhampton in 1917. He represents the third generation of the Blakemore family leading the business. Under his leadership, A.F. Blakemore grew into one of the UK’s largest privately-owned businesses, ranking 39th nationally in terms of size. He was awarded SPAR International’s Adriaan van Well Medal, the highest honour within the global SPAR community—recognising his outstanding contribution to SPAR’s values of cooperation and mutual success. A.F. Blakemore today spans multiple sectors—including retail (operating over 260 SPAR stores), wholesale, cash & carry, foodservice, fresh foods, design and shop-fitting, print, and property—broadening its scope and resilience. What began as a small family grocery in 1917 has evolved under Peter’s leadership into a diversified, influential enterprise deeply embedded in the UK’s food retail ecosystem. His receipt of the Adriaan van Well Medal reflects not just company success, but significant contributions to linkages between independent retailing and international commerce. Balancing tradition with innovation, his approach emphasizes long-term strategy, family stewardship, community focus, and expansion into complementary sectors.
