Founder of Rich Design UK, David Machikiche has used his creative curiosity for manufacturing alongside his experience in sales and business development to forge a new path to entrepreneurship. In this week’s episode of DRIVE, David describes how his highly-competitive education, ability to take risks and travelling the world for his career led to the rediscovery of his creative nature – and ultimately, growing his own e-commerce business from the ground up.
Growing up in Zimbabwe and subsequently moving to the UK at the age of 21, David built a successful career across many organisations, from recruitment to finance and sustainability. Drawing on his expertise in negotiation, sales, deal structuring, project management and leadership to name a few, he felt it was time to build his own business model.
Led by a deep fascination for the manufacturing process right through to seeing a product in the customer’s hands, David stepped out of the limiting world of employment and into the entrepreneurial hot seat. With the ability to work towards his own goals, David uncovered his long suppressed flair for creative design and innovation. It was this, paired with his experience in sales and business development that fed the inspiring formula to launch Rich Design UK.
Authentically candid about the realities of owning a developing business, David talks us through his relentless drive to never give up. Fuelled by his childhood love for breaking things apart and making them stronger, he explains what success means to him. Tune in to find out more.
