He qualified as a solicitor in 1987 and has over 30 years’ experience.

From the summer of 2020 he has taken on the additional role of Hereford Diocesan Registrar.

The Diocesan Registrar is the Bishop of Hereford’s legal adviser as well as registrar of the diocesan synod – the governing council of the diocese. The role also involves giving legal advice on any decisions or issues including works to churches and churchyards across the diocese. He will also be responsible for providing advice to parishes and church officers on the variety of legal matters which arise from time to time in parish life-supporting hundreds of churchwardens, clergy and PCC members about their various roles and duties. From August 2020, this will become the principal focus of his work.
