CEO & Founder

What I do

As Wave’s founder, creative problem solver and ideas generator, Dave brings bucketloads of passion to the development and management of cutting-edge strategies to help clients improve performance. Dave embodies the ethos of the agency, that client service is everything and anything can be achieved if you put your mind to it.

Did you know?

Wave wasn’t quite Dave’s first business. At just 12 years old he set up a computer game mail order business. Unfortunately, school eventually got in the way of the business and it was another 9 years before he launched Wave. A keen boater, Dave keeps a boat on the Thames. If he’s not on the water he’ll be either playing football, practicing taekwondo or be watching his children play football, practice taekwondo, and a variety of other sports.

As our experienced Application Support Specialist, Merci is the first port of call when it comes to support queries. Always ready to help (and always with a smile on her face), she quickly responds and helps to resolve queries from our clients.

Did you know?

As a personal tradition, Merci reads Antoine de Saint Exupery’s The Little Prince every year on her birthday (chapters 26 and 27 of the book still make her cry every time!). She loves nothing more than to linger and be lazy in her free time so often goes fishing where she can sit, listen and wait. “There is always the excitement of a catch – then guilt for hurting the fish – and finally this sense of contentment when I let it go and watch it swim away.” One of the many things we love about Merci is that she listens to traditional Christmas Songs all year round, simply because they make her happy.
