Ten years ago Chris Matthews' jet setting lifestyle had seen him balloon to 20st. But a chance meeting with a man who ran a weight loss clinic led to him losing 7st in just 20 weeks. In true Victor Kiam style, Chris was so impressed he bought the company -- well, almost. Now he runs a chain of clinics and counts some of the UK's biggest celebrities among his clients. In this episode of the Cumbria Business Podcast, Chris tells host Nick Brownlee about his dramatic weight loss, his equally dramatic career change, and how expert mentoring from one of Cumbria's favourite sons set him on the right track towards expansion.
