Tell the truth
Clarity is more useful than comfort. Advice must be honest, respectful and grounded in evidence.

Built on experience
Advice shaped by 37+ years in the owner’s chair.
Dave has spent more than three decades building, operating, turning around and selling businesses across fuel, logistics, retail, manufacturing, automotive, property, hospitality and insurance.
He has led teams of up to 300 people, managed complex multi-site operations and carried the responsibility for cash flow, customers, suppliers, jobs and the decisions that cannot be delegated.
That perspective is at the heart of PBS Global. The work combines commercial discipline with empathy for the owner, the family and the people whose lives are connected to the business.

What guides the work
Purpose beyond the result.
Stronger businesses matter because they support families, create jobs and give people the opportunity to grow.
Stay practical
Recommendations must work in the real business—with its people, pressures and available resources.
Walk alongside
Good advice is not delivered from a distance. It is followed through with patience and accountability.
Leave it stronger
The purpose is a more resilient business and more confident leadership long after the engagement ends.
