About Building Wealth

Our trainers don’t just do it for the money – they don’t need it. They benefit enormously from the networking opportunities that arise during the free seminars and 3-day courses. One of the main motivators is the mentoring aspect of the work. All of them were mentored at some point in the past and this is their way of giving something back and getting great satisfaction from seeing others succeed too. Remember what do successful people love more than success? Telling and showing others how to do it!

Neil Chapman
Neil has had many careers including banker, investor, business builder, share trader and property owner. There have been many highs and a few dramatic lows but the profession's he is most proud of are author, financial educator and futurist.

Neil worked in the investment banking industry from 1979 to 1992. Starting at Samuel Montagu & Co he worked in the back up operations before moving up to the trading desk where he traded gold, currency markets and Eurobonds. The investment management division became a management buyout called MIM Britannia. In 1985 he was head hunted to set up the non US trading desks for Fidelity Investments, the world's largest fund management company. In 1987 he was appointed a main board director of Fidelity International and also served on the boards of the stock broking subsidiary as well as the fund management companies.

In 1992 he left to set up his own business. For the next seven years he built up a fund management company that focused on developing bespoke property portfolios in the student housing market in Cardiff, Manchester, Nottingham and Lincoln. This grew to £10 million of property under management but the company was subsequently broken up following a partnership dispute.

Like most successful entrepreneurs Neil has had a few brushes with disaster and as a result of the company breaking up and the partnership dispute he went into bankruptcy. He views this as one of the most valuable business lessons he has had over his career and it significantly shaped his subsequent success and business outlook.

Neil then built up a company called Personal Risk Management Ltd with three partners. PRM specialised in background screening for banks, insurance companies, the pharmaceutical industry and airline security with a focus on fraud, food and industrial terrorism. Neil was head of Operations and Finance and controlled the international offices in the UK, India and Poland. This was sold to Kroll, the world's largest private investigation company, in 2003. He worked for Kroll for two further years during the period of an earn out, which was successful. He left in 2005 and became a private property and stock market investor. Parallel to this he built up a highly successful commercial property investment company in Katowice in Poland with four partners. This company was profitably sold in 2007.
