David Fishwick stands as a prominent figure in the financial industry, not just for founding Burnley Savings and Loans Ltd, affectionately known as the ‘Bank of Dave’, but for his significant influence as a business strategist and motivational speaker.

This not only redefined corporate responsibility but also solidified his status as a business influencer who practices what he preaches.
