 By the end of 1966 , Pink Floyd had gained a reliable management team in Andrew King and Peter Jenner . Towards the end of October 1966 , Pink Floyd , with King and Jenner , set up Blackhill Enterprises , to manage the group 's finances . Blackhill was staffed by lodgers Jenner found in his Edbrooke Road house , and among others , Barrett 's flatmate , Peter Wynne Wilson ( who became road manager , however , since he had more experience in lighting , he was also lighting assistant ) . King and Jenner wanted to prepare some demo recordings for a possible record deal , so at the end of October , they booked a session at Thompson Private Recording Studio , in Hemel Hempstead . King said of the demos : " That was the first time I realised they were going to write all their own material , Syd just turned into a songwriter , it seemed like overnight . "
