COFFEE BREAK WITH...Josh Obadan, Junior Finance Consultant - Christie Finance

When did you join Christie Finance?

I joined in February this year.

What’s your favourite thing about Christie Finance?

My favourite thing about Christie Finance has definitely been the people. Everyone has been incredibly welcoming, knowledgeable, and supportive from day one. Their guidance and encouragement have already helped me achieve some early successes and build my confidence.

Tell us a bit about your life outside work – what are your hobbies?

Outside of work, I train in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and I’m currently getting into shape for regionals in mid‑June. After winning a bronze medal last year and aiming for gold this time in both the gi and no gi.

I also work in talent and brand partnerships, with a personal highlight being supporting media coverage for Liverpool FC at the Premier League title parade following the 2024/25 season, alongside work for Matchroom Boxing, the BBC and ITV.

What is one thing on your bucket list?

One of my main goals is to compete at the Patong Boxing Stadium in Thailand. It’s something I’ve been working towards for a while, and I’m planning my first bout later this year after the rainy season.

What news source do you read every day?

I read The Economist on my commute most days, I like keeping up with geopolitics and debating with friends about what’s going on in the world. In addition, it helps me have more informed, deeper conversations with clients, especially since political topics come up so often now.

What’s your hometown? Where do you live now?

I’m a born and bred Scouser and very proud of it, currently based in what I think is the best city in the world, Liverpool.

If you could live and work in any city, where would you go?

If I could live anywhere, it’d be Phuket in Thailand. I love the vibe, the people, and how beautiful it is there.
