Reader

Brought up in Broadstairs (‘Seven miles of golden sands’!) David (DC to avoid confusion with the other David) was nicknamed ‘Tub’ during his schooldays. Following an unsuccessful early attempt to join the navy, DC gave in to his fate, as evidenced by his surname, by studying forestry and then gaining a wood science doctorate. Since then his entire career has been in the forest products industry in the UK. Never staying in one place too long, he has worked in the pulp and paper sector, both hardwood and softwood,  in sawmilling (including Ransfords at Bishop’s Castle) and panelboard manufacturing at Chirk and elsewhere.
