Bio
Regan Brown (Supply Chain Labour-Hire)
Chris is an astute business professional. Very detail oriented & strong communicator. I’ve worked with him closely over the last 5 years & know he runs a tight ship in everything he controls & has excellent people management skills to get the most from his teams in a very collaborative way. When he decided to leave our business it was a shock & I just wish him the very best as he’s a quality guy to have in your corner

I have worked with Chris Blair over a number of years from a media supplier to a client (Impex Personnel) in a digital chanel. We have both seen some successful and challenging times in the recruitment industry. I have thoroughly enjoyed working with Chris as his knowledge and professional attitude of the industry is both motivational and inspiring - not to mention refreshing. He has a warm and personable manner towards clients, candidates and media suppliers which I have found delightful. He is happy to share knowledge and is always keen to learn from others. His communication style is both relaxed yet professional. Chris has easily been one of the most genuine people I have worked with. I have and will continue to recommend both candidates and companies to him as a specialist in his field.
