Tony first taught me when I arrived at SOAS in 1976 and was later my boss and colleague with Menas. I hadn't fully appreciated Tony’s role in my career until after my father died in 2011 when I discovered a copy of a letter to Tony amongst his papers: Dad had written to ask for Tony’s advice because his son was being particularly difficult and headstrong at the time, no change there! A year later I was asked to join Menas, and the rest is history: I have working for the company for over 40 years and have been its MD since 1988.
Tony was highly respected in his own field but also always had time to provide positive friendly encouragement to everyone. Even though I only saw him at occasional events after we left London, he was always had time to catch up whenever we met.
