He has spent over 30 years in the Arts.

For his close friend the late Sir Patrick Moore, Robert created the Into Space! series of theatre lectures and books, which he published.  Moving into other areas of entertainment as well as publishing and writing he remained active in Public Relations, excelling in communication and presentation.

He is Director of the Verne Vallier Collection, a unique assemblage of music and musical memorabilia dating back to the 1800s and to the purest of the romantic composers and traditions.  It is one of the most valuable private archives on music heritage from the Romantic to the present era in existence today.
