While at school Dick was a member of the [[Reginald Bosanquet Swing Band]]. He went on to be a co-founder of [[Wikipedia:Creation Records|Creation Records]] (1983) and of [[Wikipedia:Wichita Recordings|Wichita Recordings]] (2000).

Mark Bowen said of the formation of Wichita Recordings: "Dick and I had worked together at Creation Records, and when Alan (McGee) and he decided they wanted to stop the label neither of us really had any plans. Then, one night in the Enterprise pub, Dick asked me if I'd be interested in getting another label together with the idea of doing something very small - just the two of us and basically a lot more low-key."<ref>[http://drownedinsound.com/in_depth/2416708 Label Focus #10: Witchita Recordings] (by Gareth Dobson) - Drowned in Sound</ref>

When asked about the office culture at Witchita Recordings in comparison to the wild parties at Creation, Dick said: "Answer emails, glue phone to ear, take a break, walk the dog, answer more emails".<ref name="creation" />
