Question Need assistance

hi guys

i am somehow stuck in making a decision and need a little help from you guys here..
i recently got retired from pakistan air force and have moved to UK for permanent settlement. The broad outline of my flying experience is as follows:-

Fighters (Mig-15, Mig-19, A-5III) 200 hours

Trainers (MFI-17, T-37) 800 hours

Dassault Falcon DA-20 F 1700 hours

Grand Total 2700 hours

i want to pursue flying carrier in UK but the problem is that i am not sure that where to start from. i dont hold any PPL or CPL qualification right now.. i intend to do CPL from bristol or oxford flight school, but do i need to get PPL first for that or i can directly go for the CPL?
if i have to do PPL. then in that case do i have to do complete PPL wid 45 hours or is there any examption in my case as i already have 2700 hours??
i hope you guys will take some time out and help me in making my mind up and assist me that where i should take the start from...

thanx
