He worked on flotations, fund raisings, take-overs, acquisitions and disposals for small quoted companies including a number of investment companies. In January 2003 he joined Corporate Finance Partners Limited, a small corporate finance advisory firm of which he is still a director.

Following the termination of two critical agreements by a local authority, he worked through a CVA for that company which has become the investment company, Pires Investments plc and continues as director and company secretary. Christopher is a non-executive director of two unquoted companies, Culver Holdings plc and Phoenix Administration Services Ltd. From 1999 until 2006, he was a member of the Corporate Governance Committee of the Quoted Companies Alliance (and chairman between 2001 and 2006).
