David joined in 1986, the year of box office smash Top Gun, and since then has been the ace in the pack for SHW, dominating the industrial agency market with his accurate advice and effective interventions, delivering £millions in value for our clients.

At a celebration event curated by Regional Head Emma Ormiston, in Lees House the SHW Brighton HQ, Martin Clark and Flaminia Gold (SHW Technology Director and David’s daughter!) played back key moments in his career to a huge audience of SHW people many of whom had travelled from far and wide to be there. David gave an excellent reply detailing the many, many, happy times at our great firm with remembrances of big deals, amusing events and firm friendships over the decades.

Partner Emma Ormiston said: “David’s immeasurable contribution to this firm has been immense. Not only achieving high office, being Regional Head for 10 years, serving on our senior oversight board, and delivering excellent agency services but also embodying our core values, of Care, Listen, Deliver, David has been an exemplar of our project. In addition, he has taught so much, to so many, over the years, and they will be taking on his role as leading industrial agent in Sussex and beyond. Big shoes to fill!  The attendance at his celebration event is testament to that. I am delighted that our relationship with David will continue, as he will return in the role of SHW Client, as he is now a key advisor to industrial owners in the region.”
