The idea of a marina at Caversham took hold in the 1970s, when David first saw the gravel pits at Caversham from the train, just outside Reading

David’s role in the planning and funding of the development, which is now the base for British Rowing and our National Squad, was pivotal to the development ever being built

In twenty-five years David transformed this big area of wasteland outside Reading into a world-class water-sports facility, bringing with it industry, employment and purpose to the river, whilst enhancing the site’s natural habitat

The Univ is an Oxford college barge, built in 1878, to the designs of the Victorian architect John Oldrid Scott (1841-1913)

One of David’s first contracts in the 1970s was to build police boats on the Thames
