Criccieth’s RNLI Lifeboat Station Operations Manager honoured by the Charity

It is the second highest accolade bestowed upon a volunteer by the RNLI. 

Mr William’s career with the RNLI began in 1965 when he joined as a shore-helper, before climbing aboard the Station’s then all-weather lifeboat, Robert Lindsey, in 1969.  Over the years, he progressed to be a Helmsman at the station.  In 1991, he took up the post of Honorary Secretary, a post fulfilling a similar role to that of his current post of Lifeboat Operations Manager.

Following the presentation at a ceremony held in the Guild Hall, Swansea, Criccieth Lifeboat Station’s Chairman, Dr. Tudor-Jones commented ‘this accolade is recognition of Peter’s outstanding contribution to the RNLI in Criccieth.  Over the years, he has played an integral part in ensuring Criccieth Lifeboat Station operates efficiently and successfully.  On behalf of all the volunteers associated with Criccieth Lifeboat Station, thank you.’
