Peter Bellerby is a world-renowned globemaker and founder of artisan globemakers Bellerby & Co., the only truly bespoke makers of globes in the world. After a successful career in television, in 2008 Peter began his search for a special globe for his father’s 80th birthday. Not finding what he wanted, he set about making a globe himself by hand, which was the start of an arduous and fantastic journey that led to the founding of his company in 2010.
Bellerby & Co. Globemakers have won the Queen’s Award for Enterprise in the international trade category twice, in 2018 and 2021. His team of skilled craftspeople make exquisite terrestrial, celestial and planetary globes for customers around the world.
