Chess Entrepreneurs in England

[Hok Yin Stephen Chiu]

Looking at the public accounts on Companies House, filed by 4NCL, UKCC, Chess in Schools and Communities, Chess and Bridge, among others, is it fair to say that Malcolm Pein, is the preminent chess entrepreneur in England?

Are there any other chess initiatives in England that takes in as much income/spends as much as CSC/C&B?

C&B and CSC are supposed to be distinct bodies, given that one is a charity and the other a magazine, retail and mail order outlet.

There's the ECF which has a turnover high enough to be subject to VAT although not strictly speaking a business with entrepreneurs. There are also the various book publishers although most of them are trading names of parts of larger operations.

It could be argued that every GM, and every IM for that matter, that makes a living (almost) exclusively from chess is an entrepreneur, at least if self-employed.
