Oliver lives with his wife, a retired GP, in Bletchley. Their 3 grown up children have all left home to follow their own varied careers.

For over 30 years Oliver commuted to London but was offered the opportunity of taking early retirement, which he readily accepted.

For many years in his spare time, he was heavily involved with the Morning Star Trust, enabling young people to experience the joy of offshore sailing in a Christian context. He has also recently been Churchwarden of St Mary’s Bletchley.

But as Oliver says - that is all in the past, the exciting thing is what does God want us to do in the future with the gifts that He has equipped us with?
