We are thrilled to announce that Peaches Golding OBE The Lord-Lieutenant of the City and County of Bristol, has been appointed as Honorary Captain of the Royal Navy Reserve.

As Lord Lieutenant (LL) of Bristol, Peaches Golding has been a consistent supporter of the armed forces in the City and the Royal Navy including the Bristol affiliated carrier the HMS Prince of Wales. Her appointment as an honorary officer is seen as an endorsement of her wide-ranging effect with the region, from the corporate business community right through to the general public.

Peaches is our Non-Executive Consultant here at Moon Executive Search and provides great support and insight to our Board and Business. She joined us after working as the Principal Consultant from Business in the Community, where she held various roles including regional director, deputy director of a diversity campaign, director of special projects from 1996 to 2011. She was the High Sheriff of Bristol 2010 – 2011.

This honour is the latest to be bestowed on Peaches.
