Playing a pivotal role in the transformation and success of the company with his exceptional dedication, strategic vision and operational excellence.

Chris also provided an opportunity to an intern from Sunderland University, who secured a full-time role as a marketing officer under his mentorship. These efforts highlight Chris’s dedication to developing people to be the best they can be.
