Dave has recently joined the firm to set up the new Specialist HR Service, an additional service to clients of the Employment Practice, and has a wealth of hands on experience in successfully dealing with contentious and non-contentious HR related issues.

During 23 years with Barclays, Dave progressed through the branch network into Operations Management where he quickly gained a reputation as a troubleshooter, turning negative situations around through a combination of re-motivating employees and bringing good disciplines to the workplace. As a result, he progressed into the HR management initially within the London Regional HR team, followed by two years as Employee Relations Manager in Barclays’ Head Office and two years as a Project Manager for Employee Development and implementing Recruitment & Assessment Centres.

A Mancunian by birth, Dave was educated at William Hulme’s Grammar School. Following qualification with the Chartered Institute of Personnel & Development in 1999, Dave then set up his own business providing practical solutions to SMEs operating in a variety of sectors, ranging from recruitment (including psychometric assessment) through to dismissal together with just about everything in between.
