I moved to Dubai earlier this year and was introduced to Dave at the Capital Club. He has a genuine care for all the members of the club and always makes time for me when I visit. He is a great connector of people and as a result I have made very good friends at the Capital Club. He is certainly a superstar at the club and one of the main reasons I decided to become a member.
