Notes:
In 1855, at the age of nineteen, he joined his father and others in the firm of Peek Bros and Winch of Liverpool as a junior partner. This firm then opened up in London at 23 Rood Lane, City, in direct competition with the original firm of Peek Bros & Co, tea brokers, of 20 Eastcheap, London, E.C. In 1874 Peek Bros and Winch moved to 3/4 Fenchurch Street, City. On the death of William Peek senior in 1870 Francis Peek became senior partner, and the London firm changed its name to Francis Peek, Winch & Co. In May 1895 a limited company was formed under the style of Peek Bros and Winch Ltd to incorporate the businesses of all the firms mentioned above. The head office of the new company was to be no. 20 Eastcheap, where Peek Bros and Co. had been established since c.1842; the building had been reconstructed in 1874 to form the present Peek House. This remained the head office of the company and its successor, Peek, Winch & Tod, Ltd, until recent years.
Francis Peek was appointed first Chairman of Peek Brothers & Winch Ltd in 1895 and held the appointment until his death in 1899. His portrait was hung in the Board Room at Peek House. He was also Chairman of the Howard Association and the James Peek Trust for a number of years. He is reputed to have given over half a million pounds during his lifetime to charitable and religious causes. These included the building of four churches for his sons-in-law in Holy Orders. One of these churches was Holy Trinity, Beckenham, Kent, built in 1877/78 in memory of his parents, William and Mary Peek. Another portrait of Francis Peek hangs in the vestry there.
Francis married Meigh, Lydia Hicks in Q3 1855 in West Derby, Lancashire. Lydia (daughter of Meigh, Charles and Grocott, Elizabeth) was born in C 1835; died in Q1 1917 in Croydon, Surrey. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
