In 1742, he was taken on as partner in Samuel Storke’s firm and headed up the firm in 1753 when Samuel Storke died of a sudden stroke.〔http://www.merchantnetworks.com.au/periods/1775before/1775creditors.htm〕 The firm was based at Great Ayliffe Street, Goodman’s Field. In 1764, he left that firm and went into business with a new partner, Thomas Dickason, who was still his partner at the time of his death, at 117 Bishopsgate. Champion and Dickason had considerable trade with America and, it seems, Rhode Island and Boston in particular. In 1773, they are said to have sent the tea cargoes that were dumped in Boston Harbour in the Boston Tea Party.〔(bc20 - The Blackheath Connection )〕
In 1778, Alexander Champion was listed as an underwriter in Lloyd’s Register.〔(bc20 - The Blackheath Connection )〕 He retired in 1789. He died on 28 April 1795 at his home in Walthamstow, Essex.〔The Gentleman's Magazine Voume 77〕
