WHO IS CHRISTOPHER HITCHEN?
Over the past 3 decades, Chris has proven himself to be an extremely successful entrepreneur, with ventures in property, software and trading (to name just a few!) bringing international success and recognition.
Renowned for his fresh, innovative approach as well as pioneering groundbreaking technological advances through his involvement with Software, Chris has made a habit of buying and selling businesses after transforming their fortunes, as well as building his own businesses from scratch which have since gone on to be industry leaders.
EARLY LIFE
Chris is no stranger to adversity, and it's the struggles he has faced in life which he credits for giving him the drive to succeed. At just 16 years old, Chris faced his biggest challenge when he was diagnosed with Crohn's disease. Over the coming years, after often finding himself hospitalised and severely unwell, Chris vowed to pursue his dreams and to make something of his life - it's a philosophy which has served him well and it's one to which he still lives by today.
CAREER
Chris first foray in the business came in the early 90's when, after enrolling on a computer course at a local college, Chris discovered a talent for programming. In a short space of time Chris rapidly became one of the UK's brightest young programmers.
It was this that led to his first and most significant break, when he landed at job at Glencore. Working for the largest commodity trading bank in the world allowed Chris to really hone his talent in software, as well as to develop a passion for trading.
Over the coming years, Chris got a valuable insight in how the biggest investment banks work as his developing interest in trading turned into dedication to becoming the best trader he could.
This led Chris to his final role in trading, this time with Deutsche Bank, where his burgeoning talent in trading and software allowed him to create one of the world's first automated trading risk systems.
At the age of 31, Chris left the City and, along with his young family, moved back to his native Yorkshire. With a passion for business and making money still very much at the forefront on Chris' mind, he set about establishing an Estate Agency business. From scratch, he built an agency which was not only one of the successful in Leeds, but in the whole of Yorkshire, with his Agency trusted by Landlord's and Vendors the length and breadth of the county.
After selling his agency at the height of it's power, Chris now dedicates his time to helping other entrepreneur's who are embarking on the path that Chris has so successfully followed. Whether it's creating bespoke sales funnels for entrepreneurs, teaching an aspiring trader how to make money or transforming a business with cutting edge software and systems, it's Chris' aim to share the knowledge and expertise that he has gained over the years.
