Sam Farley
It is a rare combination to find a leader of a major corporation who is able to talk intelligently about his services with even the smallest of customers and yet handle the complex issues of a major multi-national corporation. Peter presses for the results and profitability required of a CEO yet he maintains his focus on "doing the right thing" with his customers. This is a key characterisitc of Ritchie Brothers employees from the top down.
