PEACE campaigner Colin Parry has joined a Lancashire firm as its associate director. Mr Parry, who lost his son Tim, 12, when the IRA detonated a bomb in Warrington in 1993, has joined Chorley-based company Mawdsley Consultancy.

MD Paul Mawdsley said: "I am pleased to welcome Colin into our growing team. His professional background in human resources goes back 30 years."

Mr Parry, chairman of the Tim Parry and Johnathan Ball Trust, lives in Warrington with his wife and two children.

He was instrumental in creating the Peace Centre in Warrington, in memory of his son and three-year-old Johnathan, also killed in the bombing.
