Board

Peter Bowman

Chairman

Hailing from Scotland, Peter arrived in Western Australia in the late 1960s as a boilermaker. In 1970, he founded CPC Engineering in a modest Kambalda workshop, providing essential fabrication services to the mining industry, both underground and on the surface. Over five decades, he steadfastly grew the business, navigating market fluctuations to expand CPC's reach across Western Australia. A true force of nature in business, his entrepreneurial spirit also extended to a keen interest in wine, culminating in the establishment of a winery in the state's picturesque Southwest region.
