Dave is a passionate and highly experienced fire and H&S professional, keen to make a difference within the local community through supporting individuals and organisations. Tamar Safety was established by Dave with this in mind: local help and support for local businesses and communities.
Originally from Ipswich, following an exciting 9-year career in the Royal Marines Band Service, Dave settled in South East Cornwall and has now built a family life in the Tamar Valley. Moving into business management within education, Dave worked in Plymouth-based schools and colleges before leaving to pursue a career as an H&S consultant and trainer. He is still firmly associated with education, serving as Chair of Governors for two local primary schools.
Dave has a keen interest in sports and hobbies, particularly ones that he can share with his two young sons that try to run rings around him on a football pitch or chess board!
Buddy
Name: Buddy
Role: Mental Health Champion and all-round "good boy!"
Favourite animal: Other dogs
Favourite book: Clifford the Big Red Dog
Favourite meal: Everything - nom, nom, nom
Favourite activity outside of work: Sofa cuddles - but Mummy says I'm not allowed on the furniture
Buddy is a fox red labrador and is so big that if he were fitted with a saddle a 5-year-old could ride him - although we avoid that, just think of the risk assessment!
When not sleeping for most of the day, Buddy loves big long walks, treats and lots of affectionate headrubs. Whilst he doesn't say a lot, he's one hell of a listener!
