My role with  CHANCE Clear Cider 

I began working with John, Founder of CHANCE Clean Cider, in 2025 following an introduction that has quickly developed into a close working relationship. While our initial connection came through an investment conversation, I was delighted to be asked to become a non-executive director.

John has built the UK’s first dedicated clean  non-alcoholic cider, a product that combines a crisp, distinctive taste with strong brand values and has already won multiple awards.

From our first conversations, it was clear to me that CHANCE had the foundations of a highly scalable business, not least because John was so enthusiastic about his product.

My role has centred on providing independent perspective, constructive challenge, strategic, and fund raising support as the business evolves. I’m very much looking forward to continuing to support CHANCE as it moves into its next phase of growth.

Testimonial

“I first met Alan through an investment outreach, but the journey we’ve been on since has been far more than a typical investor relationship. Alan has helped me think bigger, more strategically, and with a level of ambition I genuinely hadn’t applied to CHANCE before. He’s unlocked new angles of growth and value that simply weren’t in my original vision for the brand.

We work closely together, always with brutal honesty, but also with mutual respect, trust, and a shared focus on progress. He challenges me in the right ways, brings clarity when things get noisy, and has been a real partner in helping CHANCE evolve. I would highly recommend Alan to any founder or investment group looking for thoughtful challenge, strategic support, and real experience. He has had a huge impact on both me and the CHANCE journey.”
