Peter Bellerby Author

Peter Bellerby is a world renowned globemaker and founder of artisan globemakers Bellerby & Co. Globemakers, one of only two handmade globemaking companies in the world. After a successful career in television, Peter Bellerby was running a music venue-bowling alley in London, when he went on a search for a special globe for his father's 80th birthday. Not finding what he wanted, he set about making a globe himself by hand, which was the start of an arduous and fantastic journey that led to the founding of his company in 2008. Bellerby & Co. have won the Queen's Award for Enterprise in the international trade category twice, in 2018 and 2021. Peter lives in London with his partner, who in 2008 thought he was losing the plot. She now runs the Bellerby & Co. Globemakers sales, marketing and publicity departments, and was the mastermind behind the Instagram account which has garnered 155,000 followers around the world.
