He worked on a wide range of major accounts. These included Rowntree's of York, Fray Bentos (the OXO group of companies), Kraft Foods Ltd., Horlicks Pharmaceuticals and Champion Spark Plugs.

He arrived in Hong Kong and worked for numerous well-known advertising agencies including Leo Burnett Ltd. and Chase Compton Advertising Ltd. on accounts such as 'The Yellow Pages' and 'The Mandarin Group of Hotels'
