In his new role, Coward work with ISA-UK members from around the UK, offering advice and guidance on how to grow their business in the post-pandemic period, as well as providing specialist support on any other queries.

Following an extensive search, we're delighted to welcome Chris to the team

The addition of Coward to the ISA-UK team will see Craig Brown step down as interim chief executive. Brown took on the temporary role in July 2021 to help guide the organisation while a permanent replacement was sought.

“Following an extensive search, we're delighted to welcome Chris to the team. He brings a wealth of experience of running SMEs and will be instrumental in guiding our members to successfully navigate this post-pandemic period.”
