Peter Tierney Murrell (born 8 December 1964) is the Chief Executive Officer of the Scottish National Party. He is hitched to Nicola Sturgeon, the gathering's chief and First Minister of Scotland. 

Early life and instruction 

Murrell was born in Edinburgh on 8 December 1964. He went to Craigmount High School and learned at the University of Glasgow. 

Vocation 

Murrell has been Chief Executive Officer of the Scottish National Party (SNP) since 1999 when he took over from Michael Russell. Already he had worked in the Banff and Buchan voting public office of Alex Salmond, who was a previous gathering pioneer. The gathering's achievement in the 2007 decisions was credited to the association of Murrell. 

Murrell was once the Company Secretary of Independence Merchandising Limited, a now-broke down organization that included as its chiefs SNP lawmakers Pete Wishart and Stewart Stevenson. 

In January 2019 Murrell felt obligated to leave Kenny Macaskill, previous SNP Justice Secretary. 

In December 2020, during a council hearing on "the Scottish Government Handling of Harassment Complaints" Murrell in his oral proof gave conflicting data with respect to whether he was available during a gathering between the FM Nicola Sturgeon and previous FM Alex Salmond.

From the start, he denied being at his home where the gathering was held, saying "I was not at home" but rather afterward expressed that "I showed up home not well before the gathering finished".

He likewise seemed to give conflicting proof with respect to whether he utilizes the web-based media application Whatsapp, expressing that "I am not on WhatsApp; it's anything but an online media stage that I use". In any case, he later explained in composed proof that "I don't utilize WhatsApp.

There are a few informing applications on my telephone that I don't utilize. This remembers profiles for Facebook Messenger, LinkedIn, Instagram, Slack, Skype, and WhatsApp, none of which I use". Peter Murrell's WhatsApp account anyway seems to show that he keeps going to utilize WhatsApp on the 22nd of November, 2020. 

Individual life 

Murrell wedded Nicola Sturgeon in July 2010 at Òran Mór Glasgow. They initially met in 1988 when Sturgeon, who chipped in at the Banff Buchan electorate office of Alex Salmond, went to a SNP youth camp coordinated by Murrell. Sturgeon and Murrell turned into a couple in 2003.
