Dave left school at sixteen with no qualifications but nevertheless went on to become a hugely successful businessman. He came to fame a few years ago via the Channel 4 TV documentary ‘Bank of Dave’ which featured him taking on the high street banks and loan sharks and setting up ‘Burnley Savings and Loans’.
Other TV appearances include ‘The Secret Millions’, ‘How to Get Rich Quick’ and ‘Your Money and Your Life’.
Chandra Sharma, one of the library’s business start-up managers, explains why he was thrilled to book Dave for the event. “I was given a list of inspirational speakers to choose from and, without hesitation, I chose Dave Fishwick. He has a great entrepreneurial spirit plus he has released two films on Netflix and a documentary.
“I thought that his journey would be a real inspiration for anyone looking to go into business. He is also someone who challenged the status quo, setting up his own bank despite various obstacles. He has also won a battle against loan sharks.”
Dave will be appearing at Bromley Central Library on Tuesday 25 March 6 – 8pm. The event is free to attend. To book, visit the library in person or call 0203 931 0900.
