Since the completion of my A levels in "way back when" i persued a couple of pretty diverse occupations. When cooking and then production management in a FMCG environmemt led to a early redundancy, i took up my position with my current employer EagleBurgmann (known as Beldam Burgmann back then) in 2002.
The desire to step into a gloabl company with a great reputation of a go forward culture led me to accept a rather modest junior position in the company.
I met some great people and mentors on the journey who (i hope) saw some potential and offered me many opportunities to accelerate my career from day one.

"Chris has worked as part of my core Commercial & Financial team since 2002 and has been a key lead/project manager in many of the projects which we started over the years. He has an exceptional and rare understanding and balance of business process, IT/ERP systems, sales focus and people management/human skills which make him a first choice to manage complex projects. 100% reliable and dependable, always playing his “A” game, Chris is willing to play any role which suits the situation and is highly driven and a joy to work with. Chris is somebody in whom I can place high levels of complex responsibility and am always guaranteed results. It has been a great privilege to watch Chris’s rapid career progression and with a wealth of experience, strikingly positive attitude towards problem solving and adversity, Chris is now an exceptional, well-honed and very well balanced commercial business leader."
"I have worked with Chris for over 10 years during which time I have had the good fortune to participate in teams with overlapping interests. His work ethic is extremely professional and he has a strong desire to evaluate, re-evaluate and improve systems and processes to better the business not just in terms of flow and common sense but with a root to gain productivity and effectiveness whilst still keeping an eye on cost versus business benefit. I would recommend him as a strong business partner in any team and hope that our paths continue to cross for many years to come."
