THE NAME "CHARTWELL" DERIVES FROM WINSTON CHURCHILL'S HOME IN ​KENT, ENGLAND

Rob is a student of history and occasionally lectures on topics that interest him. He chose the name "Chartwell" because of Churchill's resilience and encouragement to the British people to "never, never give in" during their darkest hour. Rob believes that in business and life, the greatest virtue is perseverance and a fighting spirit, especially when the cause is noble.
