In his time, he has worked with some of the greatest names of modern politics, business, and media—such as Ronald Reagan, F. W. de Klerk, the Sultan of Brunei, Rupert Murdoch, and David Frost—and on world events, historical and controversial alike. Today, his clients include the chairmen of many of the UK’s leading companies and organizations as well as foreign heads of
