From the Co-Founders
Chris didn't set out to be a business strategist. He set out to be a present dad.
In 2008, with his first child on the way, he was the youngest Business Manager in the UK, excelling in automotive sales and mentoring colleagues. But 70-hour weeks left no time for family. So he changed course.
Over the next 20 years he supported hundreds of SMEs at Shropshire Chamber and later turned around a manufacturing firm as General Manager with full P&L responsibility. He saw a clear pattern. Owners worked harder than ever yet lacked the tools and support to think strategically. They were the business instead of running it.
That insight led Chris to create The Core Diagnostic, a quick, detailed review that uncovers hidden profit, system gaps and strategic blind spots. It pairs data with a true partnership approach and clear, measurable goals so a business can thrive without depending on its owner.
Today, as Co-Founder of MAFIC, Chris uses The Core Diagnostic to reveal cash, time and talent opportunities across six areas of any SME. His aim is simple. Help 1,000 owners reclaim time, profit and freedom. Because success is not more hours. It is the freedom to choose.
