Who is Chris Brindley?
Chris Brindley is a Non-Executive Director, International Speaker, Executive Coach and Consultant in business and sport.
Chris’ career prior to his current portfolio of roles spanned two different industries, having been an Executive Director in both. After four years as MD at the UK’s leading challenger bank, Metro Bank, Chris decided to make the move that has seen him recognised with an MBE for services to sport and awarded winner of the Institute of Directors, UK Non-Executive Director of the Year in 2017.
