Executive board, Consultancy

Non-Executive Director

Neston, UK

David graduated in Law and attended Middle Temple in London (UK) but preferred playing his banjo in a bluegrass band. In 1989 he founded EDP Health Safety and Environment Ltd in the UK and, with the help of an amazing team, provided health safety and environment services to large global corporate clients. His business expansion to Singapore led him to work for Build a Better World on the Streets of Cambodia and across SE Asia through his foundation Bridge2.
David now follows his passion to help entrepreneurs and their business grow in social impact and with multiple bottom lines. He remains a dedicated fan of Liverpool Football Club – only occasionally playing banjo.

What business can do for good, how it can build community and how it can make a better world for people have been my key drivers in life. I’m all about helping people to see their next steps, trying to empower business leaders motivated by good values to inspire those that work with them. When I look at FiftyEight, I see a company focused on how they can achieve all that and something better for the world. I want to see wealth being used positively for more and more people, the levelling of communities. There’s a sadness in that because I don’t believe it’ll come to fruition in my lifetime, but I want to be part of trying to nudge it along that road. When I’m struggling to see change my wife will remind me that things take a while and to take one step at a time. She’s always been there to pick me up.
