Deepbridge Statement: Peter Johnson

It is with great sadness that we can advise of the death of Deepbridge Partner Peter Johnson.

Peter was born in Birkenhead in 1939, the son of a butcher. Having inherited, he expanded the family business to become Park Hampers and subsequently Park Group.

At times, Peter was owner of both Tranmere Rovers FC and Everton FC.

In 2017 we welcomed Peter as a Partner of Deepbridge Capital.

Ian Warwick, Managing Partner at Deepbridge commented;

“Peter has been a longstanding business inspiration and it was a delight to welcome him into the Partnership in 2017. As well as his remarkable success with Park, the success experienced at Tranmere Rovers and Everton symbolised his acumen.  

“Peter’s support, encouragement and insight was always much appreciated. He will be sadly missed, not least by his amazing daughters.”

Everyone at Deepbridge sends their condolences and love to Peter’s daughters Charlotte, Kate and Susie, and the wider family.
