"David presented a report that provided very interesting insight into the current status of work being done by the UK BIDS Advisory Service and the opportunities that could be explored. The recommendations ‘hit the mark’ and the Board considered the professional view presented by David. I would recommend David for future analysis and consultancy roles in the area of Town Centre Management."

Successful streets don't happen by chance (5 mins):
I will return to Adelaide in January to continue working with retailers and Councils to improve the business environment and retail marketing strategies.
Visited many retail streets and centres in NY including Macys, Bloomingdales, Century 21, Madison Ave and 5th Ave. My favourite store was Eataly in the Flatiron District – an excellent concept.
