Peter Briscoe is an Englishman, born in 1950, and studied Industrial Chemistry and Management at Loughborough University of Technology, England. He moved to The Netherlands in 1974 and was asked by his company, Brent Chemicals International, to set up a subsidiary in Holland from 1978 where he was Managing Director until 1986. From 1987-1989, Peter was Executive Director of the Christian Businessmen's Committees (CBMC in The Netherlands.) Typical CBMC activities are prayer breakfasts in boardrooms, hotels and even parliaments; outreach events such as banquets in major hotels to present Jesus Christ to the business and professional people; leadership development 'colleges', seminars and courses designed to motivate business leaders to reach out to others. In 1990, Peter set up "Synthesys" a consulting company specialising in the development and marketing of industrial chemical specialties. When the Berlin Wall collapsed and opportunities to develop business in Eastern Europe opened up, Peter founded and developed Europartners, a movement dedicated to reaching European business and professional people for Christ and helping Christians in positions of leadership in business, politics, and other professions to "go and make disciples in all nations." By 2002 there were local national movements in 28 European countries, encompassing around 500 local groups and some 5000 active co-workers. From 2002, Peter took an assignment as Managing Director of HE Space Operations with offices in Houston, Katwijk and Bremen, specialised in providing professional services for Human Spaceflight activities. Peter led a company of some 70 people, made up of medical doctors, biologists, engineers, physicists and business specialists.
