Meet the team
Nick Chadwick
Nick founded InnProfit following 25 successful years in the running an array of hospitality businesses & as an area manager. He has refined his expertise and professionalism with Boddingtons, Greenall's, Scottish & Newcastle, Punch, Spirit & Marstons. Nick provides consultancy advice to individual, multiple and national companies as well as being a recognised mentor to the BII.
Success comes in many ways & winning Manager of the year twice in his career is an endorsement to be proud of. 12 successive years delivering year on year profit growth is something to shout about especially in challenging times.
Success is never instant, it comes from experience & a lot of hard work. It is also attributed to investing in people, leading and influencing the behaviours of a carefully recruited team who collectively look after every element of business. Another wise investment is having the best advice available. As a firm believer in working smarter not harder to make money, he soon realised that there is a whole industry that could benefit from this and there InnProfit was born.
InnProfit is firstly independent making the advice and support accurate and unbiased. It is focussed on having a team of industry professionals and services that all provide a contribution to any business owner having the right advice, recommendations, service and performance information that enhances their ability to grow sales & maximise profitability.
What makes Nick and the InnProfit operations team better than any of its competition is that each member of the team understand in its entirety every element of how a business operates, how the performance figures come about but most importantly how to positively influence them. It is often said you can't buy experience – well through us you can.
