Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Belfast’s first Night Czar on Troubles nightlife, Hollywood A-Listers in Belfast, and why he almost left NI for good
Q: What was your mindset when you faced the 1994 shooting near the door of Bob Cratchit, and how did it influence your path forward?
The incident was traumatic and pushed me to reconsider staying in the hospitality business, but the support from staff and customers, along with the community's resilience, reinforced the decision to persevere and drive Belfast's nightlife forward.
Belfast’s first Night Czar on Troubles nightlife, Hollywood A-Listers in Belfast, and why he almost left NI for good
Q: Tell us a little bit about how you came to manage Bob Cratchit.
I was invited by Pim Dam to interview for a role at Bob Cratchit; despite having limited experience, the chance to learn from senior figures and the opportunity to come back to Northern Ireland motivated me, and I accepted the GM position, which became a defining start to my career.
Busting the biggest mortgage myths: Do you really need a massive deposit?
Q: What should someone do if they're self-employed and worried about mortgage eligibility?
Be prepared to show income history and consider how lenders view dividends, salary, or net profit; two years of accounts is often enough, and a broker can help you select lenders who are more flexible with self-employed borrowers.
Busting the biggest mortgage myths: Do you really need a massive deposit?
Q: Is a 5% or 10% deposit still viable for getting a mortgage, or should listeners always aim for a bigger deposit?
There isn't a universal rule; while a bigger deposit can reduce costs and improve chances, many lenders will still consider smaller deposits depending on circumstances, income, and loan-to-value. The right path is to consult a broker who can match you to the best lender for your situation.
‘In the first four weeks, I spent £3 million’: The Belfast man who grew a £10M lottery win into a booming whiskey business
Q: Peter, what daily habits or non-negotiables help you manage multiple big projects?
I rely on having my mobile phone for constant connectivity, value a routine for unwinding (even if just tea and a fire at home), and focus on building teams to take day-to-day pressure off when needed. I also emphasize staying connected to family and community to keep perspective as the business grows.
