Infobank Plc (rebranded IzodiaPlc) ·
David worked at Infobank during a period of rapid growth and geographic expansion. He was one of those rare breeds in the UK, a self-confessed proud salesman who was both passionate and focused on understanding and fulfilling the client's needs. He managed up as well as down and I was always confident of his ability and attention to detail whether selling to or selling through. I trust him and look forward to working with him again in the future.

Tony Nicholls
Barclays Bank
Senior Director eCommerce
I first met David when he headed a bid consortium tendering to supply an innovative eCommerce solution to my team at Barclays Bank. The value David added to our understanding of this radical new business area for the Bank was the differentiating factor over his competitors. In my subsequent dealings with David I have been impressed consistently by his grasp of new technical concepts and ability to relate these to real business needs. David has a rare ability to quickly understand a business's needs and develop creative solutions that deliver market advantage.
Graham Essenhigh
Director of live event TV
at Bubble
David and I have worked alongside each other for a few years now at different organisations. Over the past twelve months or so David has been working directly for us in a business development role. Having David onboard has helped us focus on our goals and delivered us into new markets and partnerships. His drive and enthusiasm have been great, opening new channels and ideas for growth. It remains a pleasure working with him. His knowledge, help and advice has been second to none. He has recently helped us with a client of ours that runs large international festivals with providing them with a platform that suits their needs. This was achieved in record time and zero fuss, all you can ever wish for when you are recommending a service to your clients. Many thanks David.

Having worked with David pre-pandemic, I can certainly vouch for his work ethic and professionalism. He brings a massive experience in the sales role to the table and his work rate is invaluable. Well worth a chat if you are looking to hire a full-time or part-time demand generator.

David has boundless energy which he focuses on any task he undertakes. He challenges the status quo and has brought new thinking and ideas during his time here at Buto. If you’re looking for someone who will follow up on words with action, he is your man.
Steffan Aquarone
CEO
Droplet
David is the single most thorough, organised and energetic sales leader I’ve worked with - terrifying and impressive in equal measure. He is a thoroughbred professional, from the very top of the tree. I’m pretty good at selling but the structure of my approach is nothing compared to David’s, and I had the pleasure of learning from him while handing over a selection of my duties that had included sales. If I ever bought something from David I know he’d follow through and ensure it was delivered.
Mark Burgess
Founder at Big Button
David shows a highly proactive approach to his work and shows incredible levels of energy and commitment in everything he undertakes. His marketing and sales activities are well thought out and clearly articulated, and his years of experience in the field allow him to easily adapt his wealth of theoretical knowledge into practical sales and marketing activity. David’s inquisitive nature means that he is always keen to adopt new ideas and continually develop his skills. His client skills are impeccable and he operates with the perfect mix of tenacity and sensitivity to pursue opportunities intelligently. I would have no hesitation in recommending David as an expert in his field.

An extremely determined, passionate individual he is constantly learning and keen to share knowledge for the benefit of the team.

Tony Feeney

Eclipse Group
I came across David as a recommendation from another Linked-in contact while setting up the Sales team and market approach for Eclipse. What was required was an energetic, well connected, broad based IT sales professional with the ability to overcome lack of brand recognition and the normal obstacles to door opening. David fitted the requirement perfectly.

Nigel Baulch
EMEA Strategic Program Manager at Infobank ( Izodia )
I worked with David as part of the International Business Development Team to deliver a series of Consultative and Relationship Management Selling courses in various parts of the world. These courses took senior sales account directors from Fujitsu, ICL and channel partners through a tough week of structured sales workshops followed by in field support to reinforce the learning and build a sustainable sales pipeline. David led these with his usual thorough organisational skills, tenacity and drive. David is an excellent sales motivator. Not only does he inspire the people he is training but he also stimulates you to really think things through so that you can win that sale. It was a pleasure to work with him.
