Anderson Chilcott

Business-minded, creative, and enthusiastic individual with a unique combination of qualifications and experience in both the business world and motorsport.

I have high-level business skills that have been honed through the running and expansion of a number of successful startup businesses while also studying for a BA (Hons) in Sports Business Entrepreneurship. This is a ground-breaking course run by the Bristol City Robins Foundation that gives students three years of hands-on experience in setting up and running their own businesses alongside their degree studies.

This business experience is built upon strong motorsport foundations with 15 years of experience in the world of motorsport; firstly, as a driver across UK and Europe (achieving 3rd place in Britain Championships, as well as winning the Vice British Open Championship and British Kart Grand Prix Championship) and now as a Driver Coach through my own business, Chilcott Coaching; which discovers and supports the development of the next generation of driver talent in the UK,

The combination of these experiences means that I understand the nuances of the “business of motorsport” and have the skills, talent ,and long-term enthusiasm to succeed in this competitive field of business.
