Bio
Nick Shaw
I’d recommend Chris having worked with him at Display Technology for nearly 5 years. During this time Chris was my managing director he mentored me and gave me much in the way of guidance to increase my sales knowledge and ability and enabled me to strive to progress in a small company and then onwards on my career path onto other higher management positions and for this I’ll be forever grateful. His dedication to the company, the hours worked and the results achieved really put Display Technology on the UK map and his continued business ethics make him an outstanding serial entrepreneur, I wish him ever success with further ventures and would expect outstanding results for any new sales company he chooses to dedicate his time to as you’ll have a 24/7 asset onboard from day one!
