Peter has had a variety of treasurer, finance and admin roles over the years. From 2003 to 2015, he had a good grounding in church finance as treasurer of a large town-centre Baptist church.
Having taken early retirement from the role of statistician for an insurance company, Peter was appointed Finance Officer of a ministerial training college. He moved back to the north-east in 2016 and was subsequently appointed Finance Officer for a large city-centre evangelical independent church.
For the last five years (2021 to 2026), Peter has supported the ACAT Helpline; the role included updating the online handbook and FAQ. Whilst Peter has retired from this role, he continues to serve as bookkeeper for the Baptist church which he attends.
He is keen to pass his knowledge to help others be more effective in their role and looks forward to helping with training courses.
