A new year – a new start – a new approach
‘David Jones’ 2 day Fashion Management course was my introduction to David and his fascinating insight into the world of fashion. David is an expert on the subject and delivered an extremely enjoyable course without the use of boring powerpoint presentations or notes etc – he spoke about all the different aspects of the business and told great stories using his 1st hand experiences over the years and gave great advice too. The 2 day course flew by way too fast. This was the start of our working relationship and he has been my business advisor for almost 3 years now and I wouldn’t be able to run my business without him.’
