Chris Hopwood

"I thrive off working with high quality people and businesses every day and supporting management teams in achieving their ambitions."

I am a Partner at Primary and have been a member of the Investment Team since 2015.

My principal focus is in the Technology space, although I have invested in and worked with businesses across a range of sectors. I thrive off working with high quality people and businesses every day and supporting management teams in achieving their ambitions.

Prior to Primary, I spent 10 years in corporate finance both in advisory and investment roles after graduating with a degree in Management Studies at the University of Nottingham.
