Background

Chris began his career in the Construction sector in 2022 when he joined John Southworth.

This followed on from an initial career in the Royal Air Force in Mechanical Engineering, followed by his latter career as National Facilities Manager for National Express (covering West Midlands Travel, West Midlands Metro and Dundee Travel). The skills gained from both career backgrounds transferred seamlessly into his role, here at John Southworth.

With the experience and mechanical knowledge gained from his time serving the Royal Air Force, Chris can easily understand the methodology and logistics involved in constructing a building.

Additionally, in his previous position of Network Facilities Manager, the skills Chris gained in project management, budgeting, subcontractor and supply chain management, commercial matters and problem solving have been invaluable attributes to his role.

Alongside his role at John Southworth, Chris, an Advanced First Aider, dedicates his spare time to Kinder Mountain Rescue, where he volunteers as a member of the rescue team.
