He was a jurat in 1363/64 and from 1371-74, and one of the constables (an office reflecting his importance in the community) from 1370 on; the appointment of someone else to his constabulary in 1382 probably marks his death.
However, in 1373/74 he sold canvas to the community and in 1385/86 lead tiles to the merchant gild, while in 1378 he was fined for forestalling a tun of oil before it could be landed from a ship anchored off Lynn's harbour.
An indicator of the importance he had attained within the national mercantile community was his election as mayor of the staple at Bruges in 1343, a post he held until at least September 1345, and possibly to 1348.
