Chris worked at Corporate Culture as associate creative director until 2022. He's a talented designer and personally helped me in the design of two key reports in 2021 The Human Organisation and Innovation for Everyone. Equally of value is his personality - positive, helpful, willing, human, curious and great at listening both to a brief to get under the skin and to colleagues as an empathetic friend and colleague.

My role at Benson's was to take display and design concepts, through costing, to production. Benson's produced a very wide range of display and graphic products and following site meetings from a broad client base, it was my role to take their requirements and produce a visually appealing solution in combination with one that could actually be realised from suitable materials.
