Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolChris Knott is a director and development strategist with over two decades of experience delivering large-scale regeneration and infrastructure programmes across the UK, advising government bodies, local authorities and private developers. He specialises in resolving commercial, political and delivery challenges by translating high-level vision into pragmatic governance, funding and procurement solutions, and has a track record of creating delivery vehicles and strategic partnerships that accelerate outcomes. As founder of Chris Knott Consulting Ltd he operates as a nimble, high-value advisor on complex brownfield redevelopments—recently leading projects at former military sites such as Upper Heyford and Bordon. Unusually for a regeneration specialist, he also contributes to technical open-source work (including enhancements to a popular Python-to-web GUI library), reflecting a hands-on, problem-solving mindset that bridges strategy and implementation.
