18. Chris Maguire - "I realised the harder I worked, the luckier I got.”

In this episode of Greater Manchester’s Greatest Minds, we sit down with Chris Maguire, a journalist, editor, and entrepreneur who has spent decades breaking stories and uncovering the truth.

Chris shares how he knew from the age of nine that he wanted to be a journalist, how he hustled his way into top newspapers, and why he once sat in a van for hours just to get a photo of a crime suspect.

We also dive into his time covering the Fred and Rose West case—one of the UK’s most infamous crimes—why journalism gave him the confidence to start his own business and the shift from journalist to entrepreneur—and how he’s building BusinessCloud into a trusted media brand.

This episode is packed with stories, insight, and raw honesty about journalism, risk-taking, and the business of storytelling.
