David has been in the ski chalet business in Verbier since 1992, when he founded Ski Verbier with just a single chalet. As a business graduate, trained chef and avid skier since the age of four, David had a passion for the mountains and felt strongly that the all-inclusive chalet holiday concept could be improved beyond all recognition.
Over the years, David built Ski Verbier into the leading quality chalet operator in Verbier, and one of the very best in the world. The company's enviable reputation was built around the professionalism and friendliness of its staff.
By the time David sold Ski Verbier in 2005, the business had seventeen chalets, a hotel, sixty employees and occupancy levels consistently above 90%, with the vast majority of clients either being repeat or recommended through word of mouth.
Also in 2005, David purchased a hotel in Verbier, Les Rois Mages. This property has undergone a major redevelopment, transforming it into a spectacular chalet and spa, sleeping up to 26 pampered guests. Under its new name, No.14 Verbier, it is the flagship property of Verbier Exclusive's portfolio of highly exclusive chalets.
David has four children and lives with his wife Annabel and young family in the Cotswolds.
