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.
