David is
the son of a Sussex farmer and attended the Lewes County Grammar School.
On leaving school he joined the Inland Revenue where he remained until being head hunted by a national tax consultancy firm.
He

Eastbourne and in Brighton.
He started his own practice on a part time
basis and joined
a firm of accountants in London's West End also on a part time basis while his
