Peters, Fraser & Dunlop
Peters Fraser and Dunlop (PFD) is a talent and literary agency based in London, England. One of the oldest agencies in Britain, and a co-founder of the Association of Authors' Agents, it is home to a distinguished and varied client list, including Simon Schama, William Hague, Sarah Raven, Twiggy, Sir Max Hastings, Chris Patten, Philip Norman and such estates as V.S. Pritchett, C.S. Forester and Storm Jameson.
PFD was created when the A. D. Peters Agency merged with the Fraser and Dunlop Agency in 1989. Previously, the two agencies had been leaders in their fields with A. D. Peters being on the most distinguished literary agents in the world, whilst Fraser and Dunlop was one of the most respected agencies working with talent from the film, TV and theatre industries. The merger created a formidable agency and it went on to represent some of the most famous actors, writers and directors of the nineties, including Richard Curtis, Nick Hornby and Kate Winslet.
In 1999, the agents at PFD sold the company to CSS Stellar. In 2007 many of these agents left to form United Agents. In 2008, PFD was bought from CSS Stellar by a consortium led by Andrew Neil. A settlement was reached with United Agents on all issues, and this allowed both agencies to focus on serving their clients and developing their respective businesses.
PFD is run by its management team of Caroline Michel and Lesley Davey and it has offices based in Covent Garden.
It represents clients in all aspects of publishing and media businesses, with ACTIVE TV/film, factual TV/ Broadcasting, digital and public speaking divisions which work together as a team with a full service books department which includes both foreign rights and children's books.
