About Chartex Ltd.

Chic Carvell trained as a Physical Education Teacher at the Scottish School of Physical Education, Jordanhill, Glasgow from September 1969 to June 1972. He gained a Diploma in Management Studies (Recreation Management) in 1973 at the North London Polytechnic and then spent the next ten years managing Leisure Centre's in the UK and abroad.

During his time at Swindon’s Oasis Leisure Centre as Activities Manager (1976-82) he pioneered the health/fitness assessment concept when running businessmen’s fitness programmes. In 1983 he started his Fitness Consultancy business promoting health/exercise courses in the Swindon area. That led to the establishment of a Fitness Centre at South Marston Country Club.

1985 saw the birth of his Company Chartex Products International Limited, which, since its conception, has been at the forefront of designing education charts for the Medical, Fitness, Sports and Education industries. Chartex charts are sold worldwide and respected for the sound information presented on their products in a user-friendly way.

Chic has trained many sportsmen and women at club and international levels. In the sport of golf he has developed training programmes for amateur and professional players. European tour professional David Howell benefitted from Chic’s advice during his early years on the European P.G.A. Tour, especially during his periods of rehabilitation from injury. To regain full fitness was vital for him to achieve a successful season on tour.

Many of the Chartex products written and created by Chic Carvell reinforce the benefits that athletes can obtain from following a regular fitness programme involving exercise and good nutrition.
