FILMING FROM 2027

Get to know the people Britain's money calls first: how they weigh risk, what they tell their clients, and where they differ, in their own words.

A TEN CHAIRS SERIES
On the Ten Chairs set
THE SERIES, IN BRIEF

Most people come into real money once, and usually because something happened: a business sold, an estate settled, a marriage ended. The professionals in the room at that moment have seen it many times over. Their client has seen it once.

The ten people in this series have sat on the other side of that moment several hundred times, and this is the chance to hear them at length. The same questions go to all of them and the answers sit side by side: how they judge risk, what they say to a client who wants something they should not have, and what separates good advice from expensive advice. Twelve questions across the year, published in full.

THE EPISODES

One question per episode.
Ten answers, side by side.

Every question goes to all ten chairs, and every episode sets their answers side by side. One publishes every month. It opens with these three.

HOW THE SERIES WORKS
WHO GETS A CHAIR
The people who run the companies, not the loudest voices. A chair cannot be applied for: each one is extended to someone whose answers count.
BETWEEN THE QUESTIONS
Quick-fire rounds, the stories behind each company, and questions sent in by the people watching run through the year.
HOW THE YEAR CLOSES
When the twelve questions are answered they are published as a book, with the ten who hold the chairs portrayed on the cover. Then the questions begin again.
Questions are put by the series’ editorial desk. There is no host.
THE TEN
NOW CONVENING

Who’s appearing.

The founders who lead private wealth in Britain, from family office to next-gen advisory, each holding an invited chair.

CONVENING OPENED  AUGUST 2026 FIRST SHOOT DAYS  2027 CHAIRS ANNOUNCED  IN ONE GO, AT LAUNCH

The ten are being convened now, one invitation at a time. The line up is announced in one go, the way a cast always is, and appears here from launch onwards. Until then no contributor is named: we do not trade on one company’s name to fill the next chair.

NOMINATIONS

Who belongs in these ten?

The ten are found by invitation and by nomination. If there is someone you would put in one of these chairs, tell us who.

Nominations are read by the editorial desk. Chairs remain by invitation.

WHEN IT AIRS

Know the moment Episode 1 airs.

Each episode as it publishes, with its question and what the ten said. Every episode stays, in full, on the Ten Chairs channel on YouTube.

Contributing

Chairs are held by invitation, one company to a specialism; while a chair is held, that discipline is closed. If you lead a company in one of our industries and think you should hold one, tell us about your company.
