David Rhodes

innovating in business, thriving in family, and savouring life’s finest moments.

With a degree in Physics, I began my career by founding a web design and IT support business. I then transitioned into the web agency world, eventually becoming Director of a software company, where I focused on building strong client relationships and negotiating multi-million-pound deals with global TV companies. My success has always stemmed from understanding clients’ needs and guiding them through complex digital transformations.

Outside of work, I spend time with my wife, Sara, our two children, and our energetic Vizsla, Hugo. We recently married in Tuscany, where our love for food and beautiful scenery played a central role. There’s nothing I enjoy more than cooking for a crowd of friends and family, bringing people together around great food and conversation. I’m a BBQ enthusiast, owning over 10 grills and smokers, and I love preparing smoked feasts for gatherings.

When we’re not cooking, we love heading to the Lake District for family hikes, enjoying the fresh air and beautiful landscapes.

My career began at a digital agency, where I first met Michael (The Stowhill Estates founder) and little did I know we would end up working together again! From there, I transitioned into software development, becoming a Project Manager and eventually a Product Owner, overseeing complex projects and guiding teams to deliver high-quality digital solutions. Now, as Co-Director of Stowhill Estates, I bring those same organisational and leadership skills to our growing business.

When I’m not working, I love spending time with David, our two children, and our energetic Vizsla, Hugo. Family time often means trips to the New Forest beaches, walks in the Lake District, or taking the kids to Legoland and swimming. I’m also the designated dogsitter for friends and family, so Hugo always has plenty of company.

Travel is another passion of mine—I’m always dreaming of our next adventure, with Japan and the Philippines high on my bucket list. And when I’m at home, you’ll often find me baking cakes.

A fun fact: I even had a small appearance in the first Harry Potter movie, adding a bit of cinematic magic to my life story.
