DB Recovery Resources/ DB Recovery+UKESAD is excited to announce the appointment of Chris Cordell as Business Development Manager. He continues the rich legacy of Philip Fisher.
Chris brings over 25 years of specialist experience in addictions and mental-health recovery, spanning frontline practice and senior leadership roles including hospital director, operations manager and managing director across the UK and internationally. Most recently COO at Bespoke Treatment Barbados and an independent consultant, he has founded pioneering low-cost outpatient services, advised on national UK drug policy, and delivered the UAE’s first state-funded extended-primary care house.
A Certified International Recovery Specialist, senior associate of the Royal Society of Medicine and member of ISAM, Chris also has a BA in Social psychology and anthropology, a Post Grad Cert in Business and proven expertise in addictions business development.
He is already well-known to the DB Recovery+UKESAD community, including as a presenter, and his role (as David) in the political satire The Great British Lock-In as well as other film and theatre roles.
“We are confident Chris will help us to increase access to addiction treatment and recovery,” CEO Deirdre Boyd said. “He is uniquely experienced in patient, referrer and rehab requirements, giving the best possible pathways. Philip Fisher left a large pair of shoes to fill but we know that Chris is the right ambassador to carry on his legacy.”
We hope that our readers will wish Chris every success!
