How Chris can Help
Hello, my name is Chris Swan.
I help ambitious business owners to be more profitable, and where appropriate, scale up and maximise their sale price on exit. I’ve also enjoyed considerable success turning around businesses in distress.
I’m looking for new Non-Executive Director roles as well as business investment proposals, and I also offer mentoring and support to young entrepreneurs.
I’m happy to be hands-on or on hand to support the businesses I work with and invest in. If you’d like to know more, let’s talk.
About Chris
Work with an experienced & successful entrepreneur.
In my career, I’ve built, run and sold multiple businesses – including one that achieved listing on the London Stock Exchange (LSE) and two that achieved listings on the Alternative Investment Market (AIM).
I’ve also sat on boards in the private, public and third sectors, developed commercial and residential property in the UK and USA, and owned and run a non-league football club, with success financially, on-the-pitch and in the community.
I enjoy face-to-face time with the people and businesses I work with and invest in, and my Midlands base means I’m well connected to all parts of the UK and beyond, via road, rail and air.
