David has been a Warren employee for 30 years - or, as he tends to describe it, two life sentences. He joined the company to establish and develop a first class logistics function and some of us remain hopeful that we might live to see this come about.

He wears a number of hats and has enjoyed a variety of roles during his extended tenure. These have included distribution management, inside and outside sales and facilities and project management. His consistent approach to each of these has demonstrated a level of competence and commitment that beggars belief and leaves us lost for words.

David lives on the Bucks/Oxon border, in a chocolate box village that’s frequently used as a film location for TV series such as Lewis, Midsomer Murders and Rosemary & Thyme. He’s single but has two teenage sons and a distinctly frosty relationship with the local milkman. David’s hobbies include chicken trembling and persecuting Morris men.

His ambitions include going grey before he goes bald (not looking too clever, that one) and living in a house rather than a chocolate box which, despite being grease resistant and water repellent, smells of strawberry fondant and leaks when it rains.
