About David
David was born in 1970 in Mexborough and was an amateur boxer for Mexborough in the early 1980s.
Despite leaving school initially without qualifications, he joined the Army in 1987 at the Army careers office in Doncaster. He was regimental light heavyweight boxing champion in 1988 and 1989, then player and coach for the regimental rugby team.
He experienced many operational tours, leading from the front in Bosnia, Iraq and Afghanistan. While pursuing this demanding career, David undertook further studies, gaining a degree in Leadership and Management and two A-levels in Terrorism and Political Violence.
David finished his Army career at the rank of Regimental Sergeant Major in 2010, with a perfect record of service to his country. He then went to Iraq to work as a bodyguard, rapidly going on to set up his own security company.
Today, David is the country manager of a group of five companies employing over 350 people from six different countries.
