As a Commercial and Hospitality Executive at the Cronulla Sharks I worked closely with Chris. He was an absolute delight to work for. He was knowledgeable in his role, supportive and encouraging. Chris had great ideas and quickly implemented them to make changes for the better, for both his staff and the customer.
