Bio
Claire Ward
I have known David for almost 30 years, first in his role at Centurion Press and then as a colleague in the House of Lords when I was the MP for Watford. I am now very fortunate to be CEO of the ICW and David is the longstanding Chairman. David has a huge talent for bringing people together, collaborating with different businesses and finding the 'win, win' for everyone. He has a calm, thoughtful and measured approach to challenges where he is able to guide and support people to find the solution to problems. He is an absolute delight to work with - kind and loyal. I have no hesitation in recommending David as someone to work with or for.

Formerly ACE Funding Ltd (founded in 2013), Octavius GB Ltd, a supply chain and high level introduction service that represents all our brands; ACE Funding, ACE Modular Construction, Anglo Eastern Timber Alliance, West Indies Lumber & ACE Medical Supplies. This powerful name is representational of not only what we do but ever so meaningful to the successful past with our family business Centurion Press Group empire which we sold successfully in 2002 to a major PLC. Gaius Octavius (latterly named Augustas) was one of the most effective and controversial leaders in human history, dramatically expanding the Roman Empire, largely free from large-scale conflict for more than two centuries, despite continuous wars of imperial expansion on the Empire's frontiers. www.octaviusgb.com Show less

At Forum we start by understanding the communications requirements and business objectives of our clients. We combine this with our industry experience, innovation and technical understanding to build solutions; with hands-on implementation to deliver them. With our database of audited and approved printers in the UK, Europe, Asia and the Far East, our clients experience the most technically advanced print and pre-press equipment available today. We are completely independent and have no contractual ties to print groups or specific printers and we have no financial interest in any print equipment or manufacturing organisation. Not having to fill our own production capacity means that we can promise that your work will be managed and placed with the right printer, in the right location at the most competitive market price. The partners at Forum have over 50 years experience in the print industry, covering client, agency and printer environments and are completely focused on production of the full range of printed materials and their delivery to the right place at the right time.
