Peter Herd - Peter Herd

Peter is a graduate of the Open University, Milton Keynes, U.K. Now based in the south west of England, he has had a long career in training and training management roles, specialising in consumer electronics. This included the writing of manuals, servicing guides and instruction booklets. He has occasionally been pursuaded to write scripts for training films. Peter has broadened his writing to include other interests, but firmly believes that accuracy is the most important factor. He was once told that 'anyone can express an opinion, but if you're providing information, make sure it is right'. He tries to live up to that ideal.
