He told the Daily Echo the move,
which brings to a close an eightyear
partnership, was part of his
"life plan" and that he wanted to
spend more time with his family.
The Chilworth based firm, which
employs 21 people, is to be
renamed the Lee Peck Group,
while managing director Sue
Thomas and public relations director
Alyson Marlow are to become
investors.
The sudden move follows a succession
of business wins with
Southampton Boat Show organiser
National Boat Shows, gym chain
Fitness First and law firm Moore
Blatch all signing on with the company
in recent weeks.
Mr Peck, 55, a former TV presenter
who also starred in Channel 4
programme Boss Swap, said: "I
have been reviewing the business
for a few months now and we've
just agreed that, having had a successful
run of eight years, the time
is right. He is entrepreneurial and
I am the PR guy and I am really
excited about taking it forward in
its new configuration.
"This is what I do, I'm of the area
and I've got the support of everybody.
"Clients have been absolutely
fine and I think everybody in the
business world is used to change. It
is a big change and yet nothing will
change to the outside world to be
honest.We are planning on staying
at Chilworth Point.
Mr Greenfield said: "It's part of
my life plan really. It's no more
than that. I think the time is right
for me. I've got a young family
which is growing up."

Having met him I can honestly say that in my humble opinion, Lee Peck is a fool.

I did offer to take over Mr. Greenfields share of the business but Mr. Peck wasn't keen - can't think why ?

For the people who have no idea what they are talking about lee is a hard working chap who is trying to make a wage the same as the rest of us.
Sounds like sour grapes to me - give the bloke a chance.

The building they occupy Chilworth Point is on the market. So the story is incorrect. I guess he isn't that rich as they can't afford the rent!!

I had heard through four completely different sources back last week that LPGF was in trouble. This new story is completely different to what I had heard a week before it hit.
They have been in trouble for ages, Greenfield knew that and jumped ship. The talk of 'amicable' split is crapolaaaa.
