He also worked in local radio before moving into public relations, taking senior roles with Southampton City Council and Greater Manchester Council, where he served as Director of Public Relations in the 1980s.
Richard founded and ran two PR agencies, including Intercommunication in Manchester, and Write Angle Ltd in Kingston upon Thames, where he later worked in local government and housing before retiring in 2013.
