Peter Howard-Williams began his advertising career as a sales
trainee on Living and Family Circle. He entered the cinema industry,
of which he is now the outstandingly best-known figure, on moving
to Rank Screen Advertising (RSA). After regular promotions, he
became its managing director. In 1992 he sold the company on behalf
of the Rank Organisation, to the venture bank, Schroders, so making
