BIOGRAPHY

DAVID M. OSBORNE

David Mervyn Osborne (“Mundo”)- Born to the parents of Teacher Eleanor M. Osborne and Honourable John A. Osborne. He attended the St. Peter’s Primary School, the Salem Junior Secondary School and then went on to the Langley Boarding School in the United Kingdom.

Upon returning to Montserrat in 1979, from Boarding school, David immediately went to work with his father, managing the shipping company which his father owned and assisting with the building of cargo boats.

In 1986, after working with his father for 7 years, David started his own Heavy Equipment Company. David developed a keen interest in the construction industry and got involved in the building of roads, drains and the construction of houses and other buildings.

David spent a year in Germany in 1990, where he learnt how to operate and repair heavy equipment and received exposure in the operations of a recycling plant. He later moved to the United States, where he further developed his mechanical skills and specialized in the manufacturing and repairing of radiators and cooling systems.

After returning to Montserrat in 2001, David formed two other companies- DMO Enterprises Inc. and Richmond Mining Limited. These two companies, deal with trucking and heavy equipment rentals and the processing of Volcanic Material from both the Belham Valley and the Trants Valley, for the purpose of construction both locally and regionally.

David’s passion for people is seen as he continues to provide work for people and encourage them to work hard and strive to be successful. David’s belief is that as many young people as possible, should start their own businesses and help to develop a thriving private sector, which will ultimately result in economic growth and self sustainability for Montserrat.
