David has over 25 years’ property investment, development and project management experience. Until 1994 he was a Director of Grosvenor Square Properties Group Plc with special responsibilities for property development activities on large mixed use projects such as the Capital Waterside development in Cardiff Bay. That scheme, in particular, involved complex negotiations with a wide variety of interest groups and both Local and Regional Government Agencies and officials.
