# David Roche Enterprises
David Roche Enterprises is a publishing and creative industries consultancy led by David Roche, a seasoned Board Director, CEO, and Chair with 28 years of senior leadership experience. Based in Kingston upon Thames, the business serves CEOs, senior management teams, and organisations across publishing, media, arts, and entertainment sectors.
The enterprise operates across four core pillars. As Chair of the London Book Fair—the world's largest Spring B2B book fair—Roche shapes the publishing industry's premier networking event. His leadership of New Writing North, an Arts Council-funded writing agency, demonstrates deep connections with broadcasters including BBC and Channel 4, plus relationships with major theatres and publishers. He also chairs BookBrunch, the publishing industry's trusted trade publication.
What sets David Roche Enterprises apart is the rare combination of institutional influence and hands-on expertise. Rather than offering generic business advice, Roche brings intimate knowledge of publishing ecosystems, creative sector dynamics, and media relationships accumulated through decades at the highest levels. His coaching methodology is distinctly tailored—converting first-time CEOs' inexperience into competitive advantage whilst building emotional intelligence and work-life balance.
The consultancy bridges the strategic and practical: developing business plans and strategies with senior teams, identifying digital opportunities, and serving as a direct introduction to industry players and decision-makers. Additionally, Roche lectures at the National Film and Television School and leading universities, ensuring his advisory work reflects contemporary thinking in creative business.
This business attracts leaders seeking credible, experienced guidance grounded in real industry knowledge rather than theory.
