Over the past twenty years, Chris has worked in a consultancy capacity with some of the largest local authorities in the UK. Chris is a knowledgeable and practical management consultant, skilled in diagnosing strategic asset management problems and devising tailored solutions for his clients.

It has been calculated the combined balance sheet value of the consultancy clients Chris has worked with exceeds £60 billion. He has trained over 15,000 people and is well-known and respected across the sector for his knowledge and experience.

Through social media, Chris is well-known for drawing upon analogies and experiences outside of the public sector and outside of the property industry. He is famous for finding ways to communicate complex concepts in an easy-to-understand way and for his unique insights.

Chris is passionate about sport, enjoys playing badminton and – for his sins – is a season ticket holder at Bristol City FC.

When time allows, he is also an amateur genealogist and has been researching his family tree for a number of years. A keen nature lover, Chris describes himself as a ‘birder’ (as opposed to ‘twitcher’) and he also dabbles in photography.
