An extraordinary man, a big character with great foresight and a wonderful sense of humour. He joined the company in 1947 following 5 years of war service, established it with music publishing agents around the world and he loved the people he worked with. 

An Ivor Novello Award, a No 1. Hit selling 2 million copies (Platinum disc), creator of Angel Recording Studios, London and of a wonderful family.

He will be missed by many, especially his family.
