Chris Hughes BA (Hons.) FS Branding and Marketing Specialist
Chris is a highly experienced business advisor and business mentor with a bias towards marketing and brand positioning, both in domestic and global markets.
He comes from a classic sales and marketing background having held senior and board positions with companies such as Mars and Pillsbury UK. Subsequent to this he set up and ran Prince Sportsgroup UK which he later sold to Benetton and went on to hold management posts with companies such as Dunlop Slazenger.
His experiences range across big budget brands to start ups; from blue chip corporations to SME’s; from consumer goods, via business to business, to service marketing. In all of these, he maintains, the same marketing and branding principles and disciplines apply.
Since 2000 he has been involved with Vistage (formerly TEC), both as a chairman and specialist speaker.
"Just to let you know that I am proud to announce our turnover went over the £200,000 mark last week at a profit margin of around 48%, and we are still pushing for 50%. We are now 60% towards our stretch target of £340,000 this financial year with 6 months left to go. This is a great result which I would like to thank you for helping us with."
