Meet Dave Page, the CEO of Actual Experience plc, who has advised on multinational corporate business systems, with roles in the enterprise, outsourcing, software, and hardware companies.
Dave Page grew up in north London with a fiery and resilient mom and a younger sister. Aged 15, Dave left an unremarkable education. Apart from music, Dave’s teachers saw very little hope for him in continued education and encouraged him to find a job. He left with a feeling that he was a failure, and he had struggled with maths and other STEM subjects, so Dave was surprised to be accepted for a four-year apprenticeship at Marconi Avionics, a defense research company involved in protecting Britain and its allies during the Cold War.
Looking back, Dave believes the apprenticeship, and the mentorship is provided, have saved him from a rather directionless, and bleak future. Formal education and Dave started to click, and when the apprenticeship finished, Marconi offered to sponsor him through University. It turned out he could do maths after all! Dave graduated from Bath University, one of Britain’s top engineering schools, with a Bachelor of Engineering degree three years later.
