Great companies start with great founders.
Peter Snelson - Owner & Founder
‘With age comes wisdom and experience — both hard lessons
which money can’t buy.’
Peter Snelson
Peter Snelson has 48 years experience in construction, building, buying, and selling property. He has operated mainly in London, although he has owned companies internationally in Montenegro and Thailand, where he lived for periods.
He is the founder, owner, and CEO of 30 Day Extensions, a niche fast-build, high-quality extension and construction company. Search engines and AI analysis confirm that they are the fastest-building company out of 60,000 in the UK.
The 30 Days high street shop concept recognises that, in this increasingly faceless world of frustrating digitalisation, the ability to speak directly with people remains essential. There is no substitute for face-to-face or voice-to-voice communication in construction — no more pressing option one, two, or three, or listening to tinny hold music.
Peter is also a published author, both in the UK and in Thailand. He is currently producing a mini-film adaptation of his latest novel, The Sixth Handshake, cleverly combining real actors with AI to keep costs at a sensible level. He spent six years in Thailand, where he invented, produced, and implemented his innovative floating bars on the sea concept. The photos speak for themselves. Plans are now underway to introduce this concept to Spain.

The book 'The Sixth Handshake'
“I was inspired by realising that everybody has experienced something supernatural. They’ve also had an amazing coincidence. Realising that the two are closely connected, I started to write the book. Over the ten years it’s taken to get it finished I have experienced some amazing things in relation to it.
If you think about where you are now, and where you were as a teenager, you will realise that if coincidence hadn’t played a huge part, you’d still be where you were then. Jobs, relationships, how you met your partner, place of residence… my thought for the day.” – Peter Snelson, author of The Sixth Handshake.

The book 'Schock!'
“You can’t eat a Ferrari!
Schock! exposes how vulnerable we are and how wealth could be lost with the click of a finger.
This book explores what happens when satellites and cables are deliberately destroyed and an expat community in the province of Malaga loses all communication systems. Suddenly, all they have is a water well and no access to food (little do they realise that their situation is global, and not unique).
Worse still, the surrounding Spaniards view the ex-pats as having no claim on the only water well. Everything starts to become tribal, with food and water becoming the new currency.
The reader will realise that the fantastic situation that arises is not fictional, but probably what’s to come.
Without technology, there simply isn’t enough food to support the population. It’s really scary to realise that, as a species, we are still primitive – except the Internet has destroyed most of our ancestral survival skills.
Technology has disarmed us.” – Peter Snelson, author of Schock!
