During and after the war, Hutton worked for a paper manufacturer,<ref name="Howat, p. 60">Howat, p. 60.</ref> but writing and journalism provided a more permanent career. Hutton worked with [[Thomas Moult]], a journalist and writer, to produce a book of memoirs, ''Cricket is My Life'' in 1949,<ref>Howat, pp. 84–85</ref> and he wrote for the ''[[News of the World]]'' while still playing.<ref name="Howat, p. 183">Howat, p. 183.</ref> Following his cricketing retirement, Hutton worked in broadcasting until 1961,<ref>Howat, pp. 169–70.</ref> and after 1955, he wrote for the London [[The Evening News (London newspaper)|''Evening News'']] until 1963.<ref name=H175/> A second book, ''Just my story'', followed in 1956 in collaboration with journalist, R. J. Hayter. In 1958–59, Hutton travelled to Australia to cover the MCC tour as correspondent for the ''Evening News'', again assisted by a professional journalist, while between 1963 and 1986, he wrote for ''[[The Observer]]''.<ref>Howat, pp. 183–86.</ref> He wrote a third book, ''Thirty Years in Cricket'', in 1984.<ref name=ODNB/> Hutton's increasing commitments in the south of England meant he moved to North London in 1959.<ref name=H175>Howat, p. 175.</ref> In 1960, Hutton was invited to join the engineering firm of J. H. Fenner,<ref>Howat, p. 176.</ref> mainly working in a [[public relations]] capacity. Later, he moved into marketing and overseas promotion of products,<ref>Howat, pp. 177–82.</ref> became a director of the firm in 1973,<ref name=ODNB>{{cite ODNB | last = Howat | first = Gerald M.

Although he disliked committees, Hutton served as an England Test selector in 1975 and 1976, but business commitments limited his availability so he resigned in 1977.<ref name="Howat, p. 183"/> Hutton became involved with Surrey cricket in later years but maintained links with Yorkshire, and became president of Yorkshire county cricket in January 1990.<ref name=ODNB/> In his final years, Hutton suffered from ill health and became increasingly frail. In September 1990, he suffered a [[Traumatic aortic rupture|ruptured aorta]] shortly after watching a cricket match at the Oval. After an unsuccessful operation, he died on 6 September.<ref name=ODNB/><ref name=Sw145>Swanton, p. 145.</ref>
