I found it a great pleasure working for Chris. He pours a huge amount of energy and enthusiasm into his work and is a rare optimist who sees opportunity in nearly any situation. Having said that, he is also a thorough engineer, who isn't afraid to scrutinise the details of whatever lands on his desk. He also helped me in finding a number of great opportunities to develop my career and network around the business. I hope to get the opportunity to work with him again in the future.
Eur Ing John Greenyer BEng (Hons) CEng FICE MPIANC
I have worked with Chris on numerous flood risk and water projects and proposals. Chris has been a good mentor, and leader during these opportunities and has ensured quality has been delivered, for eth right price, as part of his Project Director role. Chris is never short of advice, and always makes time to listen, and guide, as necessary. I would not hesitate to indorse his work, and would recommend anyone to work with him.
