TRUSTEES
CHAIR - ANDY BISHOP
Andy Bishop was born on the Rame Peninsular and has lived in Looe for most of his life. He attended both Looe Junior and Secondary schools. He is married to local girl Alison and has two grown up children. He has worked for Devonport Dockyard for many years and is now retired but keeping busy with ELTT.
“I love the Wooldown, it’s a little piece of countryside minutes from the centre of Looe. I loved being up there as a child and still do to this day. I joined the Trust to help preserve this and the Town’s other assets for future generations to be able to enjoy them like I have.”
VICE CHAIR - BRIAN GALLIPEAU
Brian Galipeau has served as a Trustee, Vice Chair and Chair of the Trust. Looe was home-from-home for Brian for thirty years before he and Beth moved to Old Barbican Cottage in 1999. They have two married children and four grandchildren. A Caradon District Councillor for Looe from 2003 to 2009 Brian has always been driven by the need to improve the economy of the town, and to preserve its heritage, especially by protecting the Conservation Area. Served for eight years as Hon. Treasurer for Looe RNLI, he is a keen photographer, trains two labradors.
“I jumped at the chance to serve as a Trustee to help keep some of the town’s most historic assets safe for the future, and serve the charitable purposes of the Trust. I also want to do what I can to draw our various town organisations into working closer together for the benefit of all.”
TRUSTEE - PHIL GIBSON

TRUSTEE - JOHN WARNE CB

Having been born in Pensilva, attended Liskeard Grammar School and with relatives in the area, he has a long and close association with Looe. John spent most of his working years in Whitehall and retired in 2002 as Director General at the Home Office. He was made a Companion of the Order of the Bath in The Queen’s New Year’s Honours List 2000 for services to the public. John and his wife, Elaine, had no doubt that they would spend their retirement years in Looe. They count themselves as fortunate to be able to do so and feel very much part of the local community.
“I had a bit of spare time on my hands (it doesn’t feel like that now!) and was looking to do some voluntary work when the opportunity to join the Trust arose. It is my modest way of putting something back into a town that has given me and my family so much pleasure over the years.”
TRUSTEE - SAM TANNER
Having been in the local area for over 12 years but only recently moving into East Looe in June 2018. I wanted to give something back to the local community and when I saw the vacancy to become a Trustee I jumped at the chance! I am involved in the Agricultural industry as a Director of an Agricultural Merchant business. This should come in handy with regards to the beach tractor! I look forward to my time of being a Trustee on East Looe Town Trust.
TRUSTEE - ROB LEWIS
