At a Common Hall held at noon on Thursday 10 September 2026, Liverymen responded to the Summons to give their Voice, Vote and Lot to elect the Master, Wardens and Assistants for the year ensuing.
At the election, Peter Allen was elected Master of the Worshipful Company of Butchers for 2026–27.
Peter Allen, heritage and legacy are all bound up together. Taking the family business started by Aubrey, his father, from a retail powerhouse across Coventry.
Aubrey Allen is a nationally recognised brand in the food service industry with chefs from the Roux family to Raymond Blanc, not just his clients but his friends.
Peter is passionate about continual improvement, learning and helping others to get on in life.
Whilst many people see Peter as an industry leader, an international meat consultant and a determined ambassador for industry and change, he is best described as an eternal student, a man who loves his family and someone who still secretly hopes to play football for England!
The language and culture of Italy, theatre, wine and all sport are amongst his passions and interests. However, it is his three children, his wife Jennifer and his many grandchildren that really take centre stage for Peter and are at the heart of all he does.
