My name is Douglas Pegler. I work as a Principal Consultant Pressure at Bureau Veritas, where I review and certify pressure systems and their repairs and have been doing this job for the past 5 years.

I joined the CGC/LGC in 2022, but was a governor at St Simon and St Jude Primary School since 2018, which I joined as a new governor and my role is as a general governor.  I live in Loughborough and all of my children have now finished their education and all but one has left home to make their own way.  My wife is a Class 3 teacher at the St Simon and St Jude Primary School.  In my spare time I enjoy reading, television and assisting with the school activities and work preparation.  I became a governor because I feel that I can support the school and give something back to the Educational system.
