Bio
Milada Fitzgerald BA, DipPFS, EFA
It was a pleasure working with Chris. He always inspired me by his hard work and professionalism. As his former Business Coordinator, I know that Chris gives the best advice to his clients and cares about every individual. It's always a plesure dealing with him.

I had the great pleasure of working alongside Chris at the busy deVere office in Barcelona. Rarely have I had a colleague with such tenacity and dedication. A genuine and caring individual who has a work ethos many would do well to replicate. Always looking for the best outcome for his client and always with a smile. I would not hesitate in recommending Chris.
Michael Greig Thomas
Chris is an extremely and genuinely likeable person, he is also highly professional. Unlike many plying his trade, he listens to customer needs and recommends solutions accordingly - He truly stands for the very best advice. Chris has been in Barcelona for 2 years having previously been based in Madrid, he has been successful in both cities which is a direct result of his determination and hard work, and good nature. He is a positive thinker, a hard worker, and is well-versed in his industry. I am glad to have worked alongside him.
