biography

Born in Leeds, Chris grew up in South Africa until 22 when he returned to the UK and began work in the construction industry. After a successful 9 years as a Project Manager he decided to spend some time in Spain and spent six years running his own business.

Chris returned to the UK 10 years ago and decided to use his construction knowledge to recruit building and civil engineering professionals for a wide variety of construction clients. Initially working at Management level, particularly within Civil Engineering, Chris has extended this knowledge and his network in the industry to Senior and Board level appointments across Construction, Civil, Rail and Process Engineering as well as the Energy FEED and EPC sector including Oil & Gas and Nuclear. Clients include Costain, Balfour Beatty, Amec and ABB.

In his spare time Chris enjoys playing golf and current affairs.
