Our directors
Andrew started as the Saturday maintenance man when GP commenced in 1999. As GP grew the role evolved and responsibilities extended to property purchasing, creating the first partner documents, staff recruitment and company structure.
When a desperate family came along in 1999, Pete cashed in his £6,000 pension and along with his son Andrew and Vicki Woodley purchased two flats. He has been part of GP since its inception in 1999, and is blown away by how the ministry has grown.
Ralph has drawn upon his faith to inform his time in special forces, adventures in wilderness, and a career in property consultancy. He lectures at the Leadership College London on the potential of teams with valued members, strong culture, and unselfish leaders.
Rory completed a Masters in Development in 2001 and worked for BP on security & human rights. Since joining GP in 2007 he has managed the Partnership Managers & Marketing. Since 2002 Rory pioneered Church run night shelters.
Simon joined the team in 2014 and the board of Green Pastures CBS Ltd. in 2016. He has acted as an advisor and consultant to government, NGOs, an international commission and private equity houses.
Soon after joining Shoreline Church in Southport in 1996 Vicki began working part time for the church. In 1999 she put money where her heart was. Vicki is such an instrumental part of the team and in the early days did it all!
