About
Chris has a wealth of experience in the live event arena in corporate presentations, exhibitions, theatre, and TV.
Chris started his theatrical career after leaving school and working on the technical team in his local theatre, before moving on to touring the UK as an ASM and DSM cover. Working alongside some great mentors, he learnt his trade in some of the UK’s leading touring houses.

During that time, he worked with most of the top 20 Pharmaceutical Companies, in over 40 different Countries, helping them to communicate their brands and messages to their internal and external clients with his technical abilities.

Chris is passionate about the process of putting on a show and sharing that with like-minded people.
