I have had the pleasure of networking with Chris for the past year. Chris is a great orator with sound ideas for business growth, this alongside his accessibility for grant funding for manufacturers makes him a very good contact. Very professional and easy to understand, I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Chris to any business wishing to grow. More...

Chris from Going Long Consulting is brilliant! As a small web agency, we’re hopefully good at what we, the business side of things maybe not so good. Chris helped me focus on the right things and stop wasting time on others. He also taught me how to “let a client go.” Chris is a great guy to have in your corner, I would not hesitate to recommend him. More...

You go to see a doctor when you know somethings wrong and you want a cure. Well Chris really is a business doctor. His incisive mind quickly cuts to the chase and sees what’s wrong. He tells you what you need to hear, and very quickly sees the appropriate course of action to propel your business forward. If you’re serious about moving your business forward, making it more profitable, or just want to get clear about your vision for the future of your business, then without a doubt Chris is the man you need. Direct, to the point, and good fun too. More...

I couldn't recommend Chris highly enough! Chris's obvious 'hands on' experience and fantastic ability to apply effective strategy to your business is admirable. This, coupled with his personable personality makes him a pleasure to work with. If you need a strategic thinker with 'real life' experience, to help you get the best out of your business, then you've found your man! More...
