Dr Richard Parmee

Managing Director, Cheyney Group.

Dr Richard Parmee (1970) studied Natural Sciences and Electrical and Information Sciences at Pembroke. He went on to work in the music industry and now runs successful enterprises focusing principally on X-Ray inspection services and quality control for the food industry. His company, Cheyney Group, joined the Pembroke Corporate Partnership Programme in 2009, and Richard is their William Pitt Fellow at the College.

Richard is keen to foster entrepreneurship among junior members of the College, and recalling the dearth of support in his early days as an entrepreneur has inspired him to endow an annual prize for the best business idea from the Pembroke Community, aptly named The Parmee Prize.
