Dave has a wealth of experience, that he has gained from working in multiple industries which includes rail, construction, sheet metal, fabrication, and of course product finishing.
Dave worked on projects to design and deliver pre-treatment plant, powder coating systems, paint finishing facilities, specialist dryers, and composite curing ovens.
Dave is adept and experienced at running large scale projects and has recently finished leading a 10-strong team who delivered 50 bespoke units for Crossrail. This large-scale, technically-demanding undertaking tested Dave’s project management skills to the maximum. Despite all the challenges he delivered the project ahead of time, on budget and exceeding all customer expectations.

Designs completed in 3D allow TD Finishing to help our customers visualise the plant layout ahead of time, to ensure suitability for the end users factory. Optimising the layout, not only allows to reduce foot print and improve performance. The 3D rendering of the facility means we can ensure the that any maintenance and operational access has also been considered.

Dave also has extensive experience working to optimise designs to suit Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DFMA) and cost saving principles.
