The Lighthouse Board brings together a broad range of international and local private-banking and fiduciary skills and experience.
After graduating from university, Peter joined the international accounting firm, Coopers & Lybrand’s Auckland, NZ office before moving to TCI in 1977 to manage C&L’s office in Grand Turk where, on completion of his contract, he established Chartered Trust in 1980.
Throughout the 1980s, Peter travelled extensively and built up Chartered Trust’s business providing private client and fiduciary services to TCI-resident families and corporate services to banks, fiduciary institutions, law firms and other professional intermediaries in Europe, Britain and around the world.
It was during this period that Peter and Chartered Trust developed their close working relationship with the then recently-opened Turks and Caicos Banking Company.
While still in its emergent phase as the popular upscale tourist destination and residential base it is today, in 1990 Peter spear-headed Chartered Trust’s move to Providenciales – where he has since enjoyed living, working and raising a family.
Over the years, Peter has volunteered his time to serve on numerous Statutory Boards and industry/ government liaison bodies - including as a founding Council Member of the TCI Financial Industry Association, and as a founding member of the Trust Law Advisory Committee.
In 2015, Peter was awarded a STEP Founder’s Award for Outstanding Achievement.
Outside the office, Peter enjoys nature-walking and most sports and (as an ex-player) is a keen rugby fan.
