==In the Eye==
Private Eye reveals:
:Another front-runner is John Prescott's son David, a London-based PR wallah who only two months ago dismissed speculation that he might run as "press prattle". In his application leaked to the Hull Daily Mail on new year's day, Prezz junior vowed to "strengthen our communities" and "reconnect with the voters", which rather begs the question of what his dad was doing during his decade as deputy PM.David Prescott also boasts of his "detailed understanding of how government works". Might this refer to the Commons press pass his dad gave him in 2006? Or the £11m which his PR firm Geronimo won in contracts from the Department of Education in recent years? One of the contracts fittingly enough, was to publicise a "Dads and Sons" campaign to get fathers more involved in their sons' education.Private Eye, "Life after Prezza", 11 January 2008, number 1201, p. 8

David Reddaway

David Reddaway (1953- ) is a former British ambassador to Ireland. He is the son of the former head of the Information Research Department, Norman Reddaway.Britain’s new man in Ireland , Andrew Lynch, Sunday Business Post, 17 September 2006.
==Roles outside politics==
After stepping down as Ambassador to Turkey in February 2014, Sir Reddaway sought the advice of the Advisory Committee on Business Appointments (ACOBA) to take up new appointments. 
In September 2014, he took up a new part-time, paid position as adviser to the board of Beko Plc on the conditions that; he did not return to Turkey for business purposes within six months of leaving his ambassadorial position; that he serve a lobbying ban for two years after his last day in office; and that he does not employ any privileged information from his time as a crown servant in the role. 
In March 2015, Reddaway took up an appointment on the Council of experts with the Democratic Progress Institute (DPI). Although he had some dealings with DPI in his post, the Foreign Commonwealth Office did not believe this position was a reward of any kind, and on the basis that he did not use any privileged information he may have had access to in office and that he continue to serve his lobbying ban, he was permitted to take up the role. 
Under the same conditions, he took on four other new positions: 
*Member of the governing board, School of Oriental and African Studies (September 2014) 
*Mentor, Royal College of Defence Studies (May 2015) 
*Council member, Gerson Lehrman Group (May 2015)

David Rosenberg (journalist)

David Rosenberg, (born May 17, 1946. Died January 31, 2017), was a journalist and public relations operative.
according to an Obituary:
:My former colleague David Rosenberg, who has died aged 70, was known for his exuberance and talent for chasing a story. A feature writer for the Sunday Telegraph, which he called his “journalistic Garden of Eden,” David always encouraged younger colleagues. He defined himself as a proud Scot, surrounding himself with equally patriotic peers, but was actually born in Sunderland.
:The only child of Gertie and Hymie Rosenberg, a commercial traveller, he was shaped by a happy childhood, despite financial challenges and his father’s early death from heart disease. From Annette Street School he won a scholarship to Hutcheson’s School, and gained a degree in history and politics from Glasgow University. He became chairman of the Jewish Society and later national chairman of the Inter-University Jewish Federation (IUJF), precursor to the Union of Jewish Students. He worked on the student newspaper, later forging a career path in sports journalism. But he soon realised that his support for Glasgow Rangers would not shape a long-term career.
:So he began working on the Manchester Evening News. There he met and married marketing consultant Carol Goldstone, whom he described as the bedrock of his life. They moved to London in the 1970s when David was appointed senior news features writer on the Sunday Telegraph. It was during his years on the paper that his daughter Anna and son Oliver were born. But when Conrad Black bought the paper and merged the daily and Sunday editions into a seven-day paper, he and six of the seven-strong features team left. His redundancy package offered time to write a book, but he found the life of an author too solitary. In the mid 1980s, he joined the JC as assistant editor and travel editor after which he headed the corporate relations team at Travelex, whose annual PR highlight was its Travel Writers Award.
:Now in his 50s, undaunted by his first serious health issues, he launched a specialised travel business with his colleague Julie Shmueli.
:He later put his mentoring skills to formal use via a diploma in life coaching, at Brookes College, Oxford, mentoring many people through contacts and the charity, Resource. He and Carol embarked on several travel adventures over the last few years, including a recent round-the-world trip while he was in remission from skin cancer. He took great joy in the marriages of his daughter Anna, a TV game-show presenter, to Aaron Kidd, and Oliver, a banker, to Gillian Busch, and in the birth of his first grandson Ace, with another baby in waiting whom he did not live to meet.
:David and Carol were popular and generous party-givers, and particularly valued the family unit. “It’s not what Dad did, but the inter-related values — which have shaped Anna and me and continue to inspire us”, said Oliver. He is survived by Carol, his children, their spouses and grandson.Gloria Tessler Obituary: David Rosenberg: Popular, generous journalist known for his exuberance and talent chasing a story Jewish Chronicle, APRIL 24, 2017.
