Peter is a sensitive, compassionate and inspiring leader who has built strong and effective teams of seconded personnel from divergent organisations. His deep knowledge of the National youth sector and instinctive partnership skills delivered financial and gift in kind resource to The Trust and to the benefit of our young people. A project manager of distinction able to work with innovative new ideas or untried concepts leading them to fruition. Peter is unphased by conflicting views and has the patience and wisdom to find common ground that is acceptable to all ensuring the project progresses with unity. I have little hesitation in recommending Peter as a colleague and leader.

Development Director

Jan 2015 - Mar 2017
As a not for profit enterprise we work with small and medium sized organisations to help them access and use data from evaluation and research. Rather than just act as an external consultant or show organisations what they need to do to use data more effectively, we roll up our sleeves and work directly with operations teams to show them how to get data out of their service. Current projects include a partnership with NAVCA (national umbrella organisation supporting local charity networks across the UK) to design and implement insights research to assess the capacity and readiness of small and medium sized charities to access commissioning contracts. https://www.linkedin.com/company/5355100?trk=prof-exp-company-name Show less
