David Roche

I’m a professionally qualified business coach and mentor, giving direction and advice on strategic and business development to senior management teams. 

The importance of coaching lies in filtering out distractions and focusing on goals, examining and removing barriers that have prevented their attainment, and building and reviewing a plan of stepping stones that leads to achieving those goals.

I studied psychology at Durham University and immediately after graduating I completed a professional qualification as a hypnotherapist with the Institute of Psychology and Parapsychology. My professional career has taken in operations, project management, buying, marketing, sales and general management with 25 years’ board experience as a main board director, CEO and chair.

I also chair the London Book Fair, New Writing North and BookBrunch and launched my own business coaching and mentoring company in 2020.
