Background

Peter Middleton was a sales and marketing manager for Imperial Tobacco. He has since retired.1

Tobacco Industry Consulting

PLCM Consultants worked for the tobacco industry in the late 1990s and early 2000s.2
Middleton regularly represented PLCM at meetings held by the Campaign Group of the Tobacco Manufacturers’ Association (TMA).34
It is unclear from the documents whether PLCM Consultants was working directly for the TMA, or for a tobacco company that was member of the TMA.
In 1999 Middleton gave an affidavit in a judicial review brought by Imperial Tobacco, Gallaher, Rothmans and British American Tobacco of the UK Government’s proposed ban on tobacco sponsorship and advertising.5
