David Edmonds

David, through his own business, Bisco Creative, is the Fund Manager of the Advantage Creative Fund (ACF) following a re-structuring of ACF in 2010.

David’s first career was 34 years with HSBC Bank where latterly he specialised in Corporate Finance and became an Area Manager. He completed an MBA with the Open Business School in 1996 which included a secondment to a business re-engineering project team at Waterford Wedgwood, the china manufacturers.

David left the bank in 2000 to buy a business. In 2001, he became the Managing Director of a niche, very profitable, £3.5m turnover manufacturing company where he led an MBO team.

In early 2002, David became the interim Managing Director of Maverick Television Ltd, as part of a venture capital investment by the pilot fund to the Advantage Creative Fund; Maverick eventually sold out to All3Media, a much larger independent television production company, at which point the venture capital fund sold its investment.

David’s own entrepreneurial skills are being regularly tested in growing ACF as a successful evergreen finance business.

In February 2009 David was appointed as a Non Executive Director of all the operating companies within BHSF Group Ltd, a £35m t/o health care insurance company, where he also serves on the Group’s audit and risk management committees.
