Oliver Davey
CONSULTANT / ART CURATOR / HOLIDAY LETTING
About Me
“I have found that the greatest degree of inner tranquility comes from the development of love and compassion. The more we care for the happiness of others, the greater is our own sense of well-being. Cultivating a close, warmhearted feeling for others automatically puts the mind at ease. It is the ultimate source of success in life”, Dalai Lama.
I am a strong all rounder with good business experience from both the public and private sectors in the digital, technology and data areas. A variety of experience covering small and large team management, data governance, GDPR, project management, business intelligence, mentoring, motivating and training staff plus great understanding of fundraising and development. Having been Trustee Boards on several charities past and current, I also have strong experience in the workings of the charity sector from top to bottom, this combined with over 25 years in the not-for-profit sector. Having many years in commercial environments also, gives me a unique prospective and the ability to see the economic drivers in different markets in the way I apply myself in the roles I take on.
Consultancy
Pro-bono advice to businesses on data, technology and specifically practices within the charity sector. I’m also available for paid assignments when I don’t have a permanent assignment. Do take a look at my LinkedIn profile to see my endorsements and work history.
Art Curation
Art is a passion of mine and I personal hand pick artists I love to collect, visual love and/or just want to show in each of the holiday lets, with works for sale through an on-line gallery, open days, private views in the apartments for the public and my gallery clients. Having worked in the art world for many years including The National Gallery, London; Tate Galleries; Somerset House, London; and The Courtauld Institute of Art. I bring a strong set of skills and experience and have freelance curated some Artist’s works in Suffolk, Egypt and The Netherlands. I work with the Artist to tell their story and give them a platform to present their works in a unique work allowing my clients from visiting vacationers, art collectors and my social media followers and gallery clients.
Holiday Letting
My holiday let business was set-up in 1999 and now I have five apartments located in Suffolk and Sussex with plans to expand to reciprocals and further overseas locations. It is important to me that I have space to escape for the weekends and longer from London and offer my tranquil modern mostly beach fronted properties and many with direct sea views to other people, their family and pets to enjoy.
