He has an ability to clearly, simply and concisely convey information, and is always happy to back this up with things I can actually use. Ideas which once seemed complex and confusing are now part of day to day business development, and I have confidence because I know exactly where the business is and how to move it in the right direction."

"Thank you for your assistance with my business. You have really helped me find a sense of direction and strategy to the various aspects of my business and how to plan how to develop them into a marketable service. I’ve found your friendly style, approachability and broad business experience, advice and guidance really useful."

We have adopted many of his suggestions and are now in a much better place in terms of our team numbers, our IT capabilities, our finance processes and our sales & marketing function. And I’d like to think my leadership skills have developed in a positive way too. David is a business mentor who really knows his stuff on a very broad spectrum of subjects which can be straightforwardly applied to developing a start-up business."

Professional

Manager of a University Business Incubation Centre
"I had the pleasure of working with David when he was a valued Steering Group and Project Board member for our Incubation Centre. David has given me a great deal of support in my role. He was consistently generous with his time and was supportive and imaginative in the ways he contributed to business support initiatives. In my view David is extremely professional, highly competent and exercises very good judgement and is always ready to lend a listening ear."
A Business Incubation client
“We recall the moment when we walked into the [business incubation centre] andsaid "We don't have any money, or any projects, but we do have some great ideas, and we know that we need to sit together in order to make them happen.

David gave us the break we needed, and the following week we had a business advisor and a brand new business incubation office surrounded by other creative businesses. 

We owe them a great deal. They were extremely helpful and understanding, and throughout our time there were able to support the company with high quality advice and ideas.”
