Dave has worked in various financial service and retail profit protection positions for over thirty years, in roles spanning field-based investigations, through to managing crime intelligence teams. Dave joined the retailer The Works in January 2022, after six years at Card Factory during which he built an award-winning retail risk team and became an award-winning risk director in his own right. Academically qualified and a holder of a higher degree in crime risk management, Dave is adept at crafting risk mitigation in line with crime risk theory, coupled with people based and commercially-focused interventions.
Dave is passionate around supporting retail colleagues in keeping safe from crime and empowering individuals to do the right thing in line with simple, transparent policies and workable fit-for-purpose procedures. When not dealing with all things profit protection, Dave spends his time attempting home DIY and is just coming to the end of a 5-year project restoring a former 1700s coaching inn to its former glory.
