UPDATE: Tragic traveller found dead in Peru.

A missing traveller who disappeared during a mountain trek in Peru has been described as a “lovely” and “likeable” person by his former boss, as fears grow for his safety.

Furniture maker Harry Greaves went missing while travelling abroad on April 7 and has not been seen since, despite numerous searches of the area.

The 29-year-old has links to High Wycombe and learnt his trade at the Stewart Linford traditional cabinet workshop in Cressex.

Speaking to the Bucks Free Press, his former boss, Mr Linford, recalled the time that Mr Greaves spent working in High Wycombe in 2012.

He said: “My memories of him are that he was an extremely passionate, mild-mannered, enthusiastic, intelligent furniture maker.

“He really cared about what he did and he was a very nice person. I was really fond of him.

“It’s very sad to hear this news, you never want anything like this to happen, but he is such a lovely likeable man. I can’t imagine what his family are going through.

“I hope that he will be fine and I’ll be able to see him again one day. All my thoughts and best wishes are with him and his family.”

Fears over Mr Greaves’ health and wellbeing have been growing in the last few days following his disappearance, with the Lucie Blackman Trust website launching a worldwide appeal.

According to the trust’s website, Mr Greaves – who now lives in Shropshire – flew to Peru on February 20, and met with friends in Pisac, near Coscou.

On Thursday, April 7, he told friends he wished to spend the day by himself on a mountain and was expected to return three days later – but he has not been seen since.

A thorough search, including helicopter flights, has been made of the area Mr Greaves was visiting, but there have been no signs of him.

Mr Greaves, who runs Marcher Furniture, learnt his trade in High Wycombe and later worked alone on bespoke commissions out of the Bucks New University workshops, according to his blog.
