About us

David Golding and the Team at Recovery VIP

David Golding, Founder and CEO of Recovery VIP, has an unenviable background in helping those in need across the UK, the Middle East, and the USA.

Our founder’s journey from overcoming addiction to helping others is at the heart of our philosophy—offering hope and practical solutions to those seeking a way out from addiction.

David Golding was a successful entrepreneur who created an international group of companies that turned over more than $2Bn.

Over a 10-year period, David battled with Sudden Wealth Syndrome and reached his own personal rock bottom from active addiction.

David Golding now works with high- and ultra-high-net-worth individuals, particularly CEOs, C-Suite executives, business owners, those at risk of succumbing to Sudden Wealth Syndrome, entrepreneurs, and extended families of intergenerational wealth.

Having lost almost everything fighting his own demons, he is now devoting his life to helping those who need an experienced hand.
