Bio
Mark Inger
David is without doubt one of the best people I've had the pleasure to work with. As a manager he was approachable, organised and extremely capable of working with all members of the team - both past and present. His running of the parliamentary office was superb - often juggling many different situations and roles. David's professionalism is second to none. David encouraged me and helped me to develop in my role from the first day and I would not have progressed as much as I have without his guidance. I have seen David work well with people from all walks of life - from briefing senior cabinet ministers to helping members of the public with very sensitive and complex issues. He is politically savvy and understands how to work in a fast changing and sensitive environment. David would be a great asset to any organisation with his knowledge and experience. Snap him up while you can!
