Director, UK Automotive Practice

Chris joined QR_ after graduating in Aerospace Engineering from University of Bath in 2013, and has since progressed in the 'classic QR_ way' through various analyst, management and leadership roles.

His favourite part of his job is working alongside the people in QR_ and he loves visiting the different client sites and QR offices, where you’ll find him pushing his favourite QR_ value of being 'Quite Refreshing', bemoaning his hair loss, or telling stories of his misspent cricketing youth.
