DAVID DICKIE’S STORY

My early career was spent in senior financial roles within Haymarket Publishing, looking after the commercial aspects of such high-profile UK business titles as Campaign and Marketing.

I then spent 10 years as a Financial Director within the advertising industry working for agencies such as DMB&B (now Darcy Group), BMP DDB Needham and WMGO Group (now Incepta Group) where I also assumed responsibility for Human Resources (HR).

In 1997, I set up DNP, an HR consultancy focused on the Telecoms Media Technology sector. The company completed numerous successful campaigns on behalf of its clients before I sold my shareholding and moved on to found Nexec Partners in 2000, a leading executive search practice, serving the technology and media marketplace.

My friend Simon Lucas approached me with his story about the incredibly frustrating and needless way in which emergency supplies are deployed and manufacturing in Africa suffers - and the rest is history, as they say! We formed Advance Aid in 2006.
