David is a highly accomplished, multi-award-winning company director, entrepreneur, executive business advisor, technology expert, keynote speaker, and chat show host. He is passionate about helping others succeed and driving businesses forward to achieve their full potential.

Starting his entrepreneurial journey back in 1995 at the tender age of seventeen, David Co-founded APC Solutions – now recognised as a leading provider of wireless communications solutions. Twenty years on it’s now a multimillion-pound company delivering projects in the UK, Europe, South Africa, North America and the Middle East.

David has vast experience and knowledge in communications, IT solutions and technology, backed with a solid understanding of business management and leadership. 

In 2013 David founded Simboc Limited, a business consultancy and management company providing bespoke services to other organisations. Motivated by his passion to see others reach their potential, David takes particular pleasure when mentoring and coaching others to help them realise their dreams and business goals.

David frequently receives public speaking requests and has vast experience presenting at awards ceremonies, universities and corporate events.

David Founded The Speaker Expert in early 2015 to help coach and train individuals who want to learn how to speak and present like an expert. The Speaker Expert is now the go-to speaking organisation for many business owners and their teams.

David volunteers as a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics) ambassador for STEMNET, helping to inspire young people and encourage them to enjoy STEM subjects. 

In 2015 David was awarded an Honorary Fellowship of the Institute of Enterprise and Entrepreneurs for his contribution to UK enterprise.

In June 2017, David was awarded Fellowship (FCIM) status as a member of the Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM). 

As an aside, you’ll have lots of fun and laughter working with David. He’s warm-hearted and gets a real buzz out of seeing others succeed.

David lives in Essex in England with his family and exuberant (and at times insane) Springer Spaniel. In his spare time, David likes to play squash, watch motorsport, indulge in a glass of fine wine or tackle the downhill on a pair of skis. He’s partial to a game of golf, but he’s not any good at it.

In late 2020 David Co-founded UniEE (University of Enterprise and Entrepreneurs), then shortly afterwards David and Nick launched ChatBox Productions. Chatbox Productions – ‘the home of conversation’ is a company born from the pandemic and was founded by business owners David Bell and Nick Looby. They answer the need for support, information, entertainment, and discussion in both business and public arenas.
