As a freelancer he has worked with many organisations, including Age Exchange, Living Archive, The Lightbox and the BBC. He has also had over 60 scripts performed on radio, stage and television, 13 of which have been large-scale community documentary plays based upon oral histories. Rib Davis now spends much of his time training others, mainly on behalf of the British Library and the Oral History Society.

He has also written several books, most recently 'Hello Tolworth, I'm Ziggy' - The Story of David Bowie and the history of the pub where it was staged.
