David CathersidesDavid Cathersides
Director - UK


Having set up the London operation for Mann Made Group during 2007 and run it through its early years of development, David has more recently taken a back seat and now acts as a consultant to the Group. This has the dual benefit of retaining David's skills and experience within the Group whilst affording him more time to further develop his other business interests.

David is a Certified Accountant who qualified within an international banking group and worked extensively within the UK and Australia. He gained a broad range of financial experience and in particular developed an eye for detail enabling him to provide complex hands-on advice and assistance in relation to one-off transactional business.

"....working within the professional but fast acting and flexible environment that Mann Made fosters was, and continues to be, refreshing and exhilarating following the bureaucratic regime of a large international group..."

Career History

1979 - Joined Grindlays Bank, which subsequently became part of the Australia and New Zealand Banking Group, as a trainee accountant, qualified and steadily rose to the rank of Senior Manager having worked primarily in the UK and Australia but for a short time in New York also.
