Testimonials from editors
Ollie Doward, Digital Editor BBC Live Events
In 2004/2005, I was producing Channel 4's online cricket content. At the time C4 were the primary cricket rights holders in the UK. David was hired as the Channel's chief cricket reporter and described a golden period in England's history which culminated in the Ashes victory of 2005. David consistently produced fantastic copy to deadline, but my abiding memory of working with him was his immense passion for his subject, his dedication to the cause and, above all, his good naturedness.

Faye Godfrey: Director, Content and Production, Mediaplanet, (producer of supplements for The Times, The Independent and The Guardian)
I worked with David for several years in my role as Editorial and Production Manager at Mediaplanet. David was always very reliable and always met deadlines, even when they were sometimes very tight! The quality of work was always very high and I enjoyed working with David.
Nick Bradley, former editor Stadia Magazine
I worked with David for several years, commissioning him initially as a result of his multi-lingual skills to interview the CEO of Juventus FC. He became a firm regular in the stable of magazines and has written hundreds of articles for trade title like Stadia magazine and Traffic Technology International, covering a diverse range of topics, often with a high-level technical/engineering content. What was especially important to me was that he transformed what could potentially be dry subject matters into fresh and entertaining copy. A real professional, he never missed a deadline and he is tenacious in his pursuit of original quotes from the right people. I wouldn't have any hesitation in recommending him to other publishers.
Simon Rines, Owner IMR Sponsorship, a publisher of marketing reports
David produced a very high-quality report for International Marketing Reports on the business of cricket. The work was well-researched, well -written and was produced on time. This report has been well-received within the industry and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend David to other publishers.
Keith Timimi, Chief Innovation Officer, VMLY&R Asia (owner of the Economy Watch politics and economics website)
David is both an excellent journalist and a top human being. He established himself as the main investigative journalist for EconomyWatch.com. Whenever we have a deep story we want to write, we turn to David, and he never disappoints. He does thorough research, calls on great sources, and constructs compelling stories.
Rod Sweet, Editor
I commission David regularly for articles because he's reliable, he immerses himself in the topic no matter how unfamiliar, he gets the facts, gets the quotes, finds the right angle, and delivers quality on time. A valuable resource.
Mike Bryant, Editor, Airside International
David has written a number of articles for Airside International and I have always found his work to be of a very high quality. He is clear and concise and shows a real depth of understanding in his knowledge of the aviation industry. His work is delivered on schedule and always meets the brief provided.
