"Trying to find someone who can help you through the minefield that is running a retail business that can also be 100% trusted is…well a minefield. After finding David I have worked closely with him on many business obstacles including understanding my Freehold purchase, implementing the leasehold, setting up employee contracts, understanding employment law, growth forecasting among other day to day problems that any business owner gets thrown at them. He is definitely my ‘go to’ advice guru and has a way of breaking down obstacles into bite size parts that are then easier to digest and overcome. I only wish I had found him earlier then I wouldn’t have made the mistakes I made in the early days of my business journey."

"I can confirm that I have acted as an accountant and taxation advisor to David and his various companies for over 30 years.

David has vast experience in managing companies of all sizes in various industries. He is extremely knowledgable and is a past master at managing anything from brand new start up to an established business. David's breadth of experience is second to none and he would make an ideal person to have in your corner on your business journey."

"When it comes to building and driving a brand from zero to an international level there are very few people who can match David’s knowledge and experience. In business he’s a cool, calm headed, strategic thinker who’s been there, done that, designed, manufactured and distributed the tee shirt. As a consultant the depth of knowledge he brings to the table is worth its weight in gold but isn’t going to cost you a ton gold to get him through the door."
Steve Beever

"I have known Dave for over 40 years and was privileged to be part of the same team in the Falklands War and Northern Ireland in the early 80s.

He always had something extra about him and was gifted at seeing the unexpected and working out how to solve complex challenges in conflict.

I had my own complex business challenge a few years back and Dave helped me out of a real fix.

He listened patiently to the challenge and helped construct a crisis management plan. We war-gamed various scenarios and, lo and behold, when the situation went nuclear, which Dave had anticipated, I knew exactly what to do.

A crisis plan was executed and Dave mentored me throughout. We reached a successful conclusion.

This was a difficult time made easier by Dave’s invaluable insight and support. Because we co-created a plan and had worked the scenarios, what seemed to be an intractable problem became a straightforward one. We were in front of the crisis - not in it.

Thanks to Dave we were able to get with our lives and came out of a horrible situation unscathed.

Dave was invaluable, totally dependable and a real help when we needed it. I can’t thank him enough and would recommend him unhesitatingly to anybody.”
