Upon completion of Secondary Education at Douglas High School for Boys, David joined the Firm in 1972. After what was effectively a five-year apprenticeship, including sitting the relevant Stock Exchange examinations, David was granted authority to deal by The Stock Exchange on 1st July 1982.

David was made a partner of the Firm on the 27th of October 1986. David has witnessed many significant milestones in the industry, including the growth in interest in direct equity investment following the UK privatisation programme, the introduction of state-of-the-art electronic dealing technology and most significantly, the massive expansion of the Isle of Man’s financial sector.

2010 was a very important year for David as not only did he gain his Chartered Status, but he also became Managing Director of Ramsey Crookall & Co Ltd.
