As the former Metro Bank Managing Director, Chris is an expert on customer service, an area that he is particular passionate about. Chris doesn’t just make a difference to the private sector; as Chairman of one of the UK’s leading charities, Chris works with governments, local authorities, health bodies and national agencies to deliver sport and physical activity to the North West.

TAKEAWAY BENEFITS
Not only does Chris deliver an inspiring presentation, he also delivers two other key benefits.
These are the sharing and explanation of tools that audiences can use throughout their personal and professional life to achieve greater success after the presentation has finished: “give someone a fish and they feed for a day, teach someone to fish and they feed for life”.
Secondly, Chris always finishes his presentations with a call to action using the 24-7-31 principle, which can easily be followed up by the leaders of an organisation to measure the ROI from having him present to their teams. He also invites team members to join him on LinkedIn to allow questions and support long after his presentation has ended.
Chris has spoken up and down the UK, and across wider Europe, Africa and Australia, and his clients include ACAS, Allianz, Close Brothers, Football Association, Heineken, Manchester United, Muller, Mystery Shopper Professional Association, Premier League, Sedulo, and Telent

We are so pleased with your output and ability to connect to our mass population of young contact centre colleagues. We feel happy you met our brief and appreciated your collaborative working style. With over 130 colleagues attending your sessions I can safely say you were a hit. Today we ran more sessions about how to think outside the box when it comes to your own growth and learning, I was a facilitator and many of my team were quoting to me your ideas and thought points, demonstrating that you really did hit home.
