David Downes
David joined the Royal Navy – submarines (intelligence/communications), as a teenager. Deployed on long tours at sea provided him with his first insight into the human psychological capability to cope with stress in demanding circumstances.
On leaving the Navy, he founded a startup IT business based in the North West, leading to the employment of 115 colleagues located in 6 locations, before its eventual sale in the late 90’s. During this time he acquired his CAA & FAA Pilot’s License, and continued his executive career with two global leading software organisations.
David was born in Dublin, Ireland before moving to the UK in childhood.
His relaxed friendly Irish approach really works in energizing and entertaining delegates.
Rebecca Downes
Rebecca’s formal business background was in strategic human resource management and talent acquisitions. Working commercially with start-up companies, non-profit charities, and global brands’ supporting organisations and their employees undergoing transitional change. Throughout her working career she gained a greater understanding of the critical importance of context.
Possessing a natural disposition to share her passion for developing, and fostering relationships with people of all ages, she changed career, and retrained as a Mental Health professional.
Rebecca was born in Cheltenham, before moving to North Wales in childhood.
She is genuinely intuitive and an empathic listener with a natural calming presence.
Corporate & Private Practice
After completing four years with the NHS BCUHB, both David and Rebecca started to build their corporate & private practice in 2011, and successfully opened four practices within the North West.
Due to the demands in the south of the country they relocated to Surrey in late 2018. In their commitment to making a difference they continue to support local GP’s, private healthcare & EAP providers, medical legal insurers, solicitors, and self-referrals in the City of London and Canary Wharf.
