“Dave Symondson has demonstrated leadership, energy and entrepreneurship with his previous business within the financial service sector. As a supplier of legal services, I witnessed his dramatic rise from start up, to managing a rapidly growing company until successful disposal. I believe his experience will be invaluable to other businesses.” November 25, 2011
Roz Cawood, Head of Strategic Partners, Southern Pacific Mortgage Ltd / Lehman Brothers (business partner) “I have known Dave for many years initially as a business client and later as a colleague when his company was bought into the Beacon Group. Dave is a dynamic leader who is passionate about his business and focussed on achieving results. He’s straight talking but also great fun to have around and I wouldn’t hestitate to recommend Dave or enjoy the opportunity to work with him in the future.” November 4, 2011 Simon Goldthorpe, Director, The Beacon Group (colleague) “I worked with Dave while at The Beacon Group. Dave ran one of the divisional companies in the mortgage packaging industry. It was a highly competitive market at the time that led to many casualties. Dave’s skill as MD was reflected in the success of that business and it became one of the most profitable in the sector. Equally, when there was a catastrophic downturn in the mortgage market, he managed the downsizing process quickly and very effectively while others around were crashing. He is single-minded and makes things happen. He challenges the status quo whilst being a seriously pragmatic entrepreneur. He’s an engaging character and I wouldn’t hesitate to work with him again.” November 4, 2011 Kelvin Cooper, M.D., Solent Mortgage Services (SMS) (business partner) “Dave if one of the few people I have known in business, that is dynamic, always thinking and always does what has been agreed with enthusiasm, he is a joy to do business with. I look forward to working with Dave in the future.” November 4, 2011 Clive Willson, Sales & Marketing Director, Beacon Homeloans (colleague) “Dave is tenacious, single minded(but fair) and knows exactly what he wants from his work colleagues to meet the targets of his business. He has a great understanding of the balance sheet and has the drive and ambition to succeed in an ever changing business environment.” November 7, 2011 Nicola Chard, Company Secretary, Beacon Homeloans (colleague) “Dave – what can you say- driven, focused, innovative to the extreme. Grounded, commercial and delivers the bottom line. I had the pleasure of working for Dave providing legal services to his company and with Dave as part of a management team within the Beacon Group. His energy, ambition and ability to see what works in good times and bad is infectious and motivational. He is a real asset to any business that wants to grow and expand in novel and unchartered ways. Nicola Chard, Owner, B Legal Limited” November 8, 2011 Eddie Goldsmith, partner, Goldsmith Williams Solicitors (business partner) “I had the pleasure of working with dave when he was at MD nationwide. His knowledge of the mortgage industry was extensive as was his network of business contacts. He is a real professional who has a rare quality of being both an analytic and a sales person – two skills that rarely go together His only downfall is that was and remains an avid Chelsea fan” November 25, 2011 Neil Humber , Head of Sales, The Paragon Group of Companies (business partner)
