Peter Wallis, AKA Peter York

Peter Wallis was co-founder of management consultancy SRU alongside Dennis Stevenson. Peter Mandelson worked as a consultant for SRU between 1990 and 1992.[1] Wallis was appointed Chairman of the Department of Trade and Industry Committee in 1994. Wallis was also chairman of Hydra Associates between 1987 and 1992.

In addition to a wide ranging experience advising major corporates, Government Departments and institutions in many sectors, Peter Wallis' particular specialism has been the commercial exploitation of cultural change and 'brand rehabilitation' - the redevelopment of brands and businesses that have lost positioning focus.

He has very considerable experience of 'elite' and up-market products and their branding communication strategies, from Dunhill to Waterford and including Harpers & Queen, World of Interiors, The Economist, The Financial Times, Jaegar, Tiffany, Mont Blanc, Liberty and private banker Coutts & Co.


Peter York

It is under his pseudonym Peter York that Wallis has made his most high-profile offerings, from writing the Sloane Ranger Handbook and being Style Editor of Harpers & Queen for 10 years, to financing The Modern Review. York co-authored Harpers & Queen's The Official Sloane Ranger Handbook with Ann Barr. He is also a columnist for The Independent on Sunday, GQ magazine and Management Today.
