Chris Farmelo

Chris specialises in quantitative modelling, forecasting and scenario planning at Legacy Foresight.

An economist by training, his expertise extends to pricing, revenue modelling and market sizing. What sets Chris's work apart from more traditional econometric modelling is his interest in the impact of changing social and demographic structures and behaviour - a key feature of the legacy sector.

He was closely involved in the original Henley Centre for Forecasting (now the Futures Company) Legacy Forecasting Project in 1994, when he was the company's Managing Director, with overall responsibility for the economics and modelling practices. Since then Chris has worked on a variety of forecasting and strategy projects relating to legacies and donations for charities ranging from Guide Dogs and Save the Children to St Dunstan's and St Wilfrid's Hospice.

Beyond his work for Legacy Foresight, Chris's interests include advising CAF and NCVO and futures consultancy through the Trajectory Partnership.

Chris has an BA in economics from Newcastle University and an MSc in economics from the London School of Economics.
