Dave Gunson Biography
One of the most sought after after dinner speaker in the UK, Dave Gunson is the ideal choice for any corporate event, gala dinner, awards night or conference.
Background and Career- Love of Flying
Dave Gunson was born in Yorkshire and started his working life in a Sheffield steel mill. His ambition to fly was restricted by the poor visibility in the rolling mills so he decided to join the Royal Air Force, where he flew Shackletons in Coastal Command for twelve years.
His love of flying continued into his civilian life where he became an Air Traffic Controller at Birmingham Airport, which is where all the fun started. He has been talking down aircraft for twenty-three years, and as Dave used to say "…my aim is to stick at the job ‘till I get it right!"
Speaker of the Year
Dave is a former American Express Speaker of the Year and he has spoken for most of the top companies in the country.
