Chris has held Chief Executive and Director positions in both public and private sector organisations.

He has worked as a business support provider and, importantly, he has also been the client. This dual perspective gives him an understanding of the pressures and constraints on both sides. 

Chris has worked, lived and breathed many different cultures and industries in his short life of of almost 57 years. (Bus pass soon)

Chris was also lucky to of lived in Moscow as from 1989 and personally watch the dying empires of the Red Emipre crumble in one week and the creation of a new world chaos.

From being one of the first UK companies to start a business in the Republic of Georgia in the middle of their Civil War at midnight with just the light of the glow of candles and the crackle of AK47's in the background in 1992 to cutting down weeds in a Northumberland forest, sous chef de cusine in the south of France and to even managing some aspects of Dizzy Gillispies European jazz activities.

He has always recognised that life is full of challenges.

He never loses his youthful enthusiasm for getting things going or creating opportunities even when all looks gloomy.

Chris fully understands complex issues such as deprivation  and disability matters, like many, being there and done that gives an ability to understand from a real level.
