David Simister

David’s last position was that of PR Manager with Yorkshire Water and it is recognised that he played a huge part in re-shaping the company’s PR focus, seeing the communications team twice being named Best Yorkshire & Lincolnshire In-House Team and for three years running being short listed for the national crown. His approach was very un-utility in promoting Yorkshire Water and this unconventional, this different approach continues this day.

Previous to Yorkshire Water, David worked at the Yorkshire Post (picking up the News Reporter of the Year award in 1997) and before that with the Ackrill Group of newspapers in Harrogate.

David is also Chief Executive of Harrogate District Chamber of Commerce, a trustee of Harrogate Town FC Community Foundation and The Royal Hall Restoration Trust. For the last 31 years he has been a member of Harrogate Hospital Radio.

David also served for four years on Harrogate Borough Council and also four years on North Yorkshire Council.
