While lounging on a beach, David noticed people wearing different types of swimwear – but very similar sunglasses. During that holiday, the idea to create eyewear to express individuality was born. And that became FINLAY London.

How did your degree help in your business venture?
Strathclyde Business School helped me to gain a general understanding of all aspects of business. It gave me the transferable skills needed to start my career. I really enjoyed my time there.
Why did you choose Strathclyde?
At school my favourite subjects were Accountancy and Economics so I knew I wanted to study Business at university. Strathclyde had the best reputation in Scotland for business and so it naturally became my first choice.
