David started his career in 2007 working his sandwich placement at Rund Partnership Limited while completing his post graduate course in Building Surveying. David continued his career with Rund as a building surveyor, specialising in project management, focusing on delivering social housing. After becoming chartered in 2015, David opened his own building surveying practice and became a director of Talisman Homes, his family run business, where he applied valuable management and technical skills to private residential property development. After running his own company for 7 years where he served a variety of different clients, David made the decision to move back into more traditional employment, spending a year with large national multi-disciplinary practice Ridge and Partners LLP, before starting at Harrison Clarke in 2023. Able to apply his expertise to a range of residential and commercial service lines, David is now drawing on his experience and focusing on project work as Head of Projects, leading the delivery of projects, development and contract administration services at Harrison Clarke, taking an entrepreneurial and collaborative approach to service delivery.
