About this Event
Join Start Up at this exclusive event which will delve into the fascinating business journey of Dave Fishwick, his passion for championing aspiring entrepreneurs and small business, creating his own bank, and how this has captured the attention of TV, Netflix and the word of Theatre.
David Fishwick, the founder of Burnley Savings and Loans Ltd, The Bank of Dave, is a charismatic entrepreneur, businessman, investor, author and philanthropist, and now a Movie star who has championed UK banking reform through a series of television documentaries and his Sunday Times Bestselling books, Bank of Dave: How I Took On the Banks. His firm belief that ordinary working people should have access to specific financial products and services has given him the reputation of a people's champion, taking on the banks in a 'Dave and Goliath' style struggle, winning him recognition from politicians and worldwide media.
The television series Bank of Dave screened on Channel 4, CNBC and Netflix documented the opening of Burnley Savings and Loans, with a follow-up series named Bank of Dave: Fighting the Fat Cats. Fishwick also wrote a book by the same title describing what the venture has entailed. His notoriety spread with many successive media and press appearances, and he has had significant support for his banking model from MPs and Ministers from across the UK, including support from the Prime Minister.
David's many TV series include Secret Millions, where he raised 2 million pounds to help disadvantaged young people across the UK and the award-winning 'Loan Ranger' Series, looking at how payday loan companies exploit the poor, vulnerable and desperate.
