David is an inspiring and motivational business professional. I have attended many of his workshops and find them interactive, informative and thoroughly engaging.
I particularly enjoy the informal nature of the sessions, where subjects can often lead to interseting and useful debate. David is an approachable group leader, who encourages group led activitity. I look forward to working with hin again in the future.
Creative Director, Graphic Designer, Business Owner at Rubiqa
I have worked with David a number of times in my role as Incubation Manager at The University of Derby.
David developed a series of workshops to support our new residents and associate members to explore the issues around entering self employment with a highly creative business.
David had a great understanding of the complexities of balancing an individual's creativity with a need to work towards sustainability, and as a result I believe he has played a large role in the success of a number of our past residents, including Revolver Revolver and Tristan Poyser.
David was very responsive to the needs of his audience and as such developed the support package to include monthly peer support sessions and more intensive masterclasses.
