About Chris Thomason

After completing an MBA I bought and turned around an insolvent manufacturing business to become the third largest in its sector. I did this through applying good business sense and a healthy level of applied business creativity to address the difficult growth issues we faced. I learned some fascinating things during this time, and from these experiences I subsequently developed approaches that have since been scaled up and used by a number of listed companies. 

I’ve used these thinking approaches with some leading companies including UPS, Canon, O2, Vodafone, Akzo Nobel, Roche Pharmaceuticals, Touchnote, Lloyds Bank, Toyota, HSBC, Scottish Widows, and American Express. I also learned a lot while working with these big businesses.

I realised that many of their cutting-edge methodologies would work equally well for the smallest of businesses too when integrated into my own creative thinking processes. And so I’ve combined the best of big-business, leading management practices with some applied business creativity processes to help the small-business owner to achieve growth – both in themselves and in their business
