Bromhead trained as an industrial designer in England and Sweden and migrated to New Zealand in the 1950s.[1] He was the editorial cartoonist for the Auckland Star from 1973 to 1989.[2]
He was made a Member of New Zealand Order of Merit in the 1999 Birthday Honours, for services as a cartoonist.
In 2008 he was made a life member as a Fellow of the Designers Institute of New Zealand.[3] He was described by Richard Long, former Editor of The Dominion Post, as probably the best pocket cartoonist operating in the British Commonwealth.[4]
