Toss the Boss 2018 - Dave Tombs

Dave qualified as an accountant in London in the 1980s before transferring to Sydney. During the 1990s Dave then moved to tropical North Queensland where he worked as CFO of several large organisations and also provided business consultancy services to a wide range of businesses throughout Australia.

In January 2018 Dave, his wife and two sons moved to beautiful Dunedin as Dave was offered the role of General Manager of Finance and Commercial at Dunedin City Council. Dave and his family are loving the move to Dunedin and have several plans for other family members and friends to come over from Australia and visit.

Dave doesn't know too much about abseiling but figures (hopes) that raising money for charity has got to be worth the fear-factor that awaits. “I’m not sure what to expect, I just hope I don't spill my coffee while doing it” he said.
