TESTIMONIALS
Don't just take our word for it, read what others are saying about DTA
"I met David about three years ago as I was contemplating going full time in my business as a Children’s Continence Nurse. This was a huge step for me as I had always been an employee and never self-employed. It was a risk as the mortgage and bills still needed to be paid. Would my business make enough to cover everything.
Over a coffee I discussed my business and goals for my business, and I remember saying to David “I am just a Nurse. I don’t know if I have the skills to run a business”.
Well three years later, David had guided me every step of the way along the journey of being able to competently run my own business. I have achieved all the goals I set out in the first three years and there is certainly no shortage of work now.
David is what I call an “all-rounder”. A person of great versality with experience in a wide variety of skills which makes him the ideal person to support a fledgling business who is unsure of where to start.
David made my dreams a reality and I will be forever thankful for his gentle guidance and support. I also know he will be there if I am struggling with an important business decision"

David has empowered my thinking and provided a strong platform to grow my business. If you're in business or wanting to get into business, I would definitely recommend his services"
I CAN'T RECOMMEND DAVID ENOUGH
Stu Burns- Camelot Fresh Fruit
Working with David Trim has been transformative for both my business and personal resilience.
Over the years, David has been far more than a business coach, he's been a steady hand through every challenge that comes with running a multi-generational family orchard operation.
Whether it's navigating complex seasonal staffing, managing significant infrastructure investments, or making tough strategic calls about our future direction, David has consistently helped me see the path forward with clarity and confidence.
David's guidance has been instrumental in helping Camelot Fresh Fruit Co. evolve from a traditional orchard into a profitable growing and packing operation while keeping our vision intact. More importantly, he's helped me develop as a leader, more systematic in my thinking and more capable of building the team we need for the future.
I can't recommend David enough. If you're looking for someone who genuinely invests in your success and has the experience to guide you through the real challenges of business ownership, David Trim is exceptional.
DAVID BRINGS A WEALTH OF KNOWLEDGE
Manie Bezuidenhout- Te Wairua
I first met David six years ago, and since that time he and his team have been instrumental in supporting both myself and my wider leadership team. His guidance has played a significant role in strengthening our management capability and improving the overall performance of our business.
David has provided structured coaching sessions for me personally, as well as for my managers and sales team. His practical approach, combined with his depth of experience, has helped us navigate various aspects of running a business — from leadership development and performance management to strategic decision-making and accountability.
One of David’s greatest strengths is his ability to deliver sound, balanced advice while ensuring that all processes align with fair and lawful HR practices. His guidance has been particularly valuable in helping us manage HR-related matters professionally, consistently, and in compliance with relevant legislation.
David brings a wealth of knowledge and is always willing to share his expertise in a way that is clear, constructive, and empowering. He has been a trusted advisor and a steady guide for our leadership team.
I strongly believe that many more companies would benefit from David’s experience, insight, and professional coaching approach.
I have no hesitation in recommending David and his team to any organisation seeking experienced, practical, and ethical business coaching and advisory support.
