My husband, Peter Kenyon, who has died aged 78, was a journalist in Brussels for the Sunday Times, Irish Times and the BBC. He held a range of posts at Reuters, including international marketing editor, economics editor and Westminster lobby correspondent. He was also a social entrepreneur, trade unionist and political organiser.
He was born in Liverpool, to Doreen (nee Harrison), a primary school teacher, and Frank Kenyon, an electrical draughtsman who died when Peter was seven. He was a boarder at the Royal Wolverhampton school and obtained a BSc in economics and politics at Hull University, and an MA in development economics at Leeds. We met at Hull and married in 1970.
