A popular Head of Operations, David oversees the operation and delivery of all functions within the Harrison Grierson business environment.

In his varied and influential role, he is responsible for the leadership of multiple disciplinary teams - both nationally and regionally – ensuring the company delivers for a range of private and public clients in the property and development sectors.

“Working with the fantastic people we have in HG is what excites me the most, “ he says, “along with our clients who are driven to do great things.”
