In his own words: ‘I was teaching and finding that teaching was not for me, after five years I was desperate to find another direction. A friend found an advertisement in the Daily Telegraph for a post in HMSO, (a government department I had barely heard of), the post was described as ‘leading illustrator’ a title that I found interesting as I was freelancing as a book illustrator during evenings and weekends to make ends meet whilst feeling trapped in a very poorly paid profession.’Peter had a natural authority and took a leading part in the negotiations which led to a team-structure and career path for studio staff. When the studio was dispersed to Norwich in 1978 he remained in London heading the small team there until his early retirement in 1985.
