Our Director, Chris, is involved in every aspect of the business, from recruitment, service delivery, advertising, business development, and sales and marketing, right through to strategic direction, structure and business performance. As Head of HR, Chris mentors team members, and acts as a sounding board for them, whilst still retaining some key client accounts.
Chris discovered HR following a varied career during which he travelled the world and spent time studying in London as a “mature” student. He funded his own CIPD qualification, completing it at night school whilst working in a customer service role to tide him over. The day after he graduated, he started as a Graduate Trainee at EML and the rest is history.
Married, with three children, Chris is a frustrated professional footballer and is proud to have been a ball boy for Manchester United in the 1980s. At weekends, he cheers his children’s football teams on from the sidelines…two of them in his capacity as their coach, something his long-standing interest in Sir Alex Ferguson’s methods has stood him in good stead for!
