Transform banking and entrepreneurship with Dave Fishwick, speaker, financial innovator and social reform champion. Dave works with organisations to challenge traditional finance models and drive inclusive business practices, delivering BAFTA-winning insights backed by Netflix recognition.
Dave Fishwick is a pioneering entrepreneur and the founder of Burnley Savings and Loans Ltd, known as The Bank of Dave. He has made significant strides in the banking sector, establishing the first new high-street bank in Britain in over 150 years. His journey from leaving school without qualifications to becoming a prominent figure in finance and media is both inspiring and instructive.
Dave has built six multi-million-pound businesses across the UK and America, becoming the largest supplier of minibuses in the UK. His innovative approach to banking has garnered attention from government officials, industry regulators, and the media, positioning him as a champion for ordinary people seeking access to financial services. His television series, including Channel 4's 'The Bank of Dave', has documented his efforts to reform banking practices, earning him recognition as a people's champion.
In addition to his entrepreneurial achievements, Dave is a two-time BAFTA winner and has received multiple awards for his contributions to television and media. His documentaries and series have raised awareness about payday loan companies' exploitation of vulnerable individuals while also supporting disadvantaged youth through initiatives like Secret Millions.
Dave's influence extends beyond banking. He is also an accomplished pilot and has created a popular aviation channel on TikTok. His philanthropic efforts include taking terminally ill and disabled young people on their first flights and supporting the North West Air Ambulance.
With a recent Netflix film about his life and a sequel in the works, Dave continues to impact lives globally. His commitment to using his platform for social good is evident in his plans to establish a charity aimed at supporting society's most vulnerable. Dave Fishwick's story is a testament to resilience and innovation, making him a compelling voice in entrepreneurship and social reform.

To book Dave Fishwick, email dave.fishwick@getapeptalk.com or call PepTalk on +44 20 3835 2929 (UK) or +1 737 888 5112 (US), and one of our speaker agents will contact you within hours to confirm Dave's availability and speaking fee. If you can, please include your budget upfront – it helps us fast-track your request. It’s also helpful to know the date, format (virtual or in-person), location, and about your audience.
No. PepTalk adds no booking fee, so you pay the speaker's fee and nothing beyond it. The service, from shortlist through to contracts and event-day logistics, is included. For repeat or multi-event bookings, PepTalk can agree preferential rates with your procurement team.
Share your event date, audience, format, objectives and budget, and PepTalk sends a hand-picked shortlist within 24 hours. Each suggestion comes with a profile, a fee and a recommendation on the strongest fit. Once you choose, PepTalk handles contracts, travel and logistics through to event day.
The typical fee range is the speaker's standard in-person fee in their home market, shown in their local currency. It moves with format, location, date and session length: virtual sessions and shorter slots usually cost less, while international travel and peak dates cost more. Send your brief to PepTalk and the team will confirm the exact fee in your currency.
Not all of them, and it makes no difference to your booking. PepTalk's network of 15,000+ speakers covers talent the team works with directly alongside speakers represented by agents and agencies worldwide. PepTalk approaches the speaker, negotiates the fee and handles contracting either way.
Three to six months ahead is comfortable for most events, and 12 months is better for large conferences, peak-season dates or one specific in-demand speaker. Shorter timelines are workable, and PepTalk regularly fills last-minute and replacement bookings within days. Availability is the constraint, so get in touch as soon as you have a date.
