David Kilvington

Group Marketing Manager
Based in York (with frequent flyer miles to Ripon and Otley)
Originally from Hull

David is our Group Marketing maestro with a flair for creativity, strategy, and a deep love of a good beef stroganoff. When he’s not busy steering the Batchelors brand ship, you’ll likely find him pottering in one of his two greenhouses, watching Formula 1 with the intensity of a pit crew chief, or deep in a DIY project with more enthusiasm than instruction manuals.

A proud Hull native, David has swapped dreams of early retirement for the joy of a bustling family life—wife, kids, and grandkids included. (Retirement is still on the whiteboard, though.) He once cruised around in an Alfa Romeo, but has his sights firmly set on a lime green Lamborghini. A man of taste, clearly.

His top trip? A dreamy escape to the Maldives for his 25th wedding anniversary—already planning the return for the 35th. Because if paradise was good once, it’s worth an encore.

Friendly, hands-on, and a bit of a green-fingered speedster, David brings heart and horsepower to everything he does.
