Dave has been here at the Shipyard from the early days of Vosper Thornycroft since Sept 1974 in fact. As the Maintenance Manager he over saw 26 electricians, 2 fitters, 2 painters, 2 joiners, a coppersmith and a couple of labourers.

He seen many changes over the years, and tried to retire 3 times, but we will not let him go.
