Peter Denis Hill-Wood (born 25 February 1936) is a British businessman and the current chairman of Arsenal Football Club.
Biography
Hill-Wood was born in Kensington, London. His father, three uncles and grandfather all played first-class cricket for Derbyshire CCC. He attended Eton College where he was a classmate of former Arsenal Director Sir Roger Gibbs. He then served in the Coldstream Guards. After leaving the Guards, Hill-Wood entered the banking industry, eventually rising to become a vice-chairman of Hambros Bank, having previously been in charge of its investment division.
Hill-Wood has since retired from his post at Hambros, and is currently a director of Cavenham Ltd and Hellenic and General Trust.
He married in 1971 and has three children.
Arsenal chairmanship
He is the third generation of his family to serve as Chairman of Arsenal, following his father, Denis Hill-Wood (1962-1982), and his grandfather, Samuel Hill-Wood (1929-1936 & 1946-1949). Peter Hill-Wood succeeded his father after the latter's death in 1982, although as chairman he is not in charge of any day-to-day business at the club; vice-chairman David Dein, managing director Keith Edelman and Arsenal's biggest shareholder, the diamond trader Danny Fiszman, carry out that role.

Everyone seems to think that David Dein is the chairman, but he's not, for some reason he just does all of the press and media stuff for the club.
I think he think's he's the chairman, but Peter Hill-Wood is the actual club chairman.
