One of the best known faces from BBC Bargain Hunt & Flog It

David's interest in antiques started when he was just twelve. He entered the profession after leaving school and was one of the youngest at 21, to qualify by examination of the professional body known as The Incorporated Society Of Valuers And Auctioneers.  Later to be amalgamated with the Chartered  Surveyors. David worked for a local firm in Rugby before leaving for London in 1974. Four years later he was head hunted by an auction house in Royal Leamington Spa. David became manager and valuer and later a partner, remaining there for nearly twenty five years.

In that time it is not surprising that David has built up an immense knowledge on just about anything about antiques and collectables. So much so, that his fellow experts on Bargain Hunt and Flog It! call him 'The Master'. David started out on the early Bargain Hunt programmes as an auctioneer. But it  was soon apparent that David would be a perfect  expert and so it proved to be.

January 2002 saw  the start of Flog It!  David was an expert on the first programme, it being his idea to stage the valuation day in Coventry.

David ceased being an auctioneer in early 2003 and he now has his own business as an independent professional valuer.

In 2005 David was was of the experts on the new BBC programme, 20th Century Roadshow.
