Peter Howse - full of ideas, enthusiasm and invention

Peter was a man full of ideas, enthusiasm and invention. Martin Davids and Iain Smith have mentioned his major contributions to Reuters' success, including the Money Rates prototype and the MES300 terminal. He was also a constant source of suggestions about how to improve the products, and was often the engineer you went to if there was a particularly tricky client problem. All done with a ready smile and a lovely dry humour. Martin is right to say that Reuters was fortunate to employ him. It was a privilege to have known him as a colleague and a friend. ■
