Alastair had the value and importance of Deaneries impressed on him by the priest who took his wedding. Having had long term experience in 5 deaneries in Doncaster and Sheffield, Uxbridge, Copthorne and then Henfield in Sussex, as Archdeacon of Lewisham & Greenwich from 2013, he had a close working relationship with the 6 deaneries in Lewisham & Greenwich Archdeaconry in Southwark. He took up his current role as Bishop of Woolwich in 2024.

Alastair is married to Kay, a teacher of children with profound and multiple learning difficulties and special needs, and they have two grown up daughters – Hannah and Laura – as well as a black Labrador called Maia.
