David Spear Commercials welcomes Richard Edwards
David Spear Commercials is delighted to welcome Richard Edwards, who officially joined the business on 1st October 2025 as a Sales & Advertising Executive.
Richard brings with him a wealth of experience in sales, customer service, and B2B business development, built over more than a decade in the golf and travel industry.
A Strong Sales Background
Richard began his career with Wales Golf Holiday, the largest golf tour business in Wales, where he spent 13 years selling bespoke golf holiday packages to domestic and international clients.
In April 2024, Richard joined Great Days Golf, one of our valued sponsorship partners, where we first met him at a partner event. During his time there, he played a key role in helping the business achieve seven World Golf Awards for Best Inbound Tour Operator — a testament to his commitment to service excellence and sales performance.
New Role at David Spear Commercials
In his new role as Sales & Advertising Executive, Richard will:
- Support commercial vehicle sales across new and used stock.
- Lead on vehicle advertising, including imagery and vehicle descriptions.
- Work closely with our established sales team to achieve monthly targets across unit sales, finance, and warranty products.
- Contribute to building positive customer experiences and driving strong online reviews for both him and the business.
A Great Cultural Fit
Founder David Spear said:
“We’re delighted to have Richard on board. His B2B knowledge and proven sales expertise will add another layer to our existing team, helping to strengthen our sales process and customer journey.”
Richard shared his excitement about joining the business:
“I was looking for a new challenge and having worked alongside the David Spear brand through Great Days Golf, I already had a good understanding of the company’s values and the commercial van market. The company’s move to Employee Ownership earlier this year was a big factor in my decision — it’s inspiring to join a business where employees have a real voice in shaping the future.”

Richard’s appointment follows our Employee Ownership Trust (EOT) announcement in July 2025, which marked a significant milestone for David Spear Commercials. His arrival reflects our ongoing commitment to building a dynamic, high-performing team that shares ownership, responsibility, and ambition for the future.
