Ep23. Golden Charter - Chris Wilson

In this episode of Glasgow Business Stories, we sit down with Chris Wilson, CEO of Golden Charter, to explore the experiences, values and mindset that have shaped his journey into leadership.

Chris reflects on his early entrepreneurial instincts, from small ventures at school to building a career working with businesses and eventually leading one of the UK’s most recognised funeral planning organisations. He shares how a pivotal decision to step away from a demanding role led him to start his own consultancy, driven by a desire to be more present for his family. We also dive into the unique perspective that comes from working in the funeral industry, including how it has changed the way

Chris thinks about life, grief and conversations that many people tend to avoid. Alongside this, he speaks openly about the importance of hard work, resilience and the lessons passed down from his father that have guided him through challenging moments in business.

If you’re interested in leadership, entrepreneurship, and building a career that aligns with your values, this is an episode full of honest insights and thoughtful reflections.
