David Dent has spent 36 years in the mercantile and field services industry. He did not stumble into it or arrive by accident. He started at Custom Credit in 1988, a supervisor saw something in the 18-year-old in front of him, and suggested he learn about field work rather than stay office-bound. That suggestion set the course for the next four decades.
Today David is the CEO of CPS Mercantile, a Melbourne-based agency operating across Australia in process serving, repossessions, evictions, vacant possessions, field calls, and debt collection. Alongside his field services career he has also worked in financial crimes, across both intelligence and investigation. He holds MICM designation and brings a breadth of experience that few in the industry can match.
