"Peter Reed is an exceptional ambassador for rowing"

In detail

Peter started rowing only 6 years ago when he was spotted using a rowing machine in the gym whilst studying for an engineering degree at the University of the West of England (UWE). He represented Great Britain at the under 23 World Championships. Following his graduation at UWE, Peter was accepted on a 2 year Masters of Science by research degree at Oxford University in 2004 and his extraordinary progress continued when he earned an Oxford blue in the 150th University Boat Race and represented Great Britain in the senior men's pair at the World Championships in Poland. He narrowly missed out on Olympic selection for Athens.
