Dave Hennessy
Managing Director
Meet Dave – our MD, co-founder and the first person you’re likely to speak to when you get in touch with Motive Exhibitions. With a background in graphic design and a head full of ideas, Dave brings a brilliant mix of creativity, commercial savvy and down-to-earth know-how to every project.
He’s known for being a straight-talking problem solver who gets the balance right between budget, deadlines and the all-important wow factor. Whether you’re a first-time exhibitor with no clue where to start or a seasoned marketing pro after a fresh look, Dave’s your go-to. He makes the process feel easy – guiding you through ideas, layouts, stand features and the all-important ROI.
What sets him apart? Clients say it’s his energy, plain English approach, and that he makes it all – dare we say – fun. He’s got years of experience under his belt, but never stops pushing what’s possible.
When he’s not leading the team or chatting through plans with clients, you’ll probably find him by the water with a fishing rod or walking the dog.
Chat with Dave and you’ll quickly see why so many of our clients come back again and again.
