Dave founded the business in February 2000. Having grown Leasing.com organically, he's performed almost every role in the company, with the exception of IT. From the very early days of the internet in the UK, Dave recognised the niche marketing and real-time publishing opportunities that it offered. Prior to founding the business, Dave's background was in advertising sales and management, mainly newspaper classifieds and then direct marketing. On a day-to-day basis, Dave does much of the interesting (and boring stuff) that MDs do. Outside the office, his family, three young boys and four dogs keep him busy. And the gym, unless he can avoid it.

Chris is the chief consumer champion, creator and educator and heads up our digital marketing, UX, content and social media teams. He's not the red-haired gentleman who presented Top Gear for a short while and has never played the role of Captain America. A former finance journalist, copywriter and jack of all online content trades, Chris now spends most of his time ensuring the site's content is fresh, published on time and in tip-top shape. He's an advocate of plain, clear and concise English … and the copywriting rule of three. He doesn't spend any time in the gym, he prefers TV boxset marathons and spending time with his family of three four.
