| Christopher Jenkins, Senior Partner, Wingrave Yeats
Christopher co-founded Wingrave Yeats in 1983.
His speciality is strategic advice to owner-managers of growing businesses: how to manage growth and how change affects financial reporting systems and controls, people management, profitability and cash flow. He has had extensive experience in dealing with banks on behalf of his clients and also in 'turnarounds.'
After qualifying with Deloitte, Haskins & Sells (a predecessor Firm of PwC) in 1979, Christopher became a founder member of the firm's small business unit and then spent two years in their Paris office working in audit and investigations. He left to work for the Vestey Family, where he tidied up a portfolio of small trading companies. He then joined a wholesale international bookseller as managing director where he managed 40 people and a turnover of £10m. Over the course of five years, on sales trips, he had the dubious privilege of visiting nearly every university in the US and Canada.
Christopher is a non executive director of Think London and he writes extensively for the business press and has been a regular contributor to Real Business and Growing Business magazines.
He is (still) an oarsman, having rowed in the British eight in the Youth Internationals in Italy in 1979. Nowadays gardening takes precedence but he is still Captain of Rowing at the Chelsea Arts Club!
He has been voted ‘Best Business Advisor of the Year’ by the CBI in their awards for Growing Businesses.
