Having started working with Chris as part of a newly formed sales team we very early on established an exceptional bond in order to achieve and surpass all sales expectations. Not only was Chris an amazing support colleague but also one who went out his way to achieve not only his own sales target but that of the wider team too. Chris is not only a good guy but also an invaluable asset to any team or organisation, where sales targets are to be met and customer account management is the focus.

I had the pleasure of working alongside Chris at Technogym. Chris was always a team player who showed an expert level of understanding in respect of his sector. Positive people skills and account management credentials. I feel that Chris would be able to add value to any organisation he was involved with

      For years we have been a customer of commercial flooring contractors. Our parent companies, 360 Projects and Fitness Bricks, provided flooring as part of larger projects for such clients as Atalian Servest, Oasis Academies, PureGym, UFC Gyms, ScrewFix, Travis Perkins and Westfield Health. Our Directors decided to bring flooring in-house and Six Squared Flooring Contractors was born. Based in Leicestershire, we service customers nationwide. Our experienced fitters offer a complete care service, finishing work on time and to an excellent standard. We work hard to build long-term, trusted relationships with our clients and pride ourselves on offering a reliable consistent service. Show less
