From a 17 year old out of Manchester into a young soldier in the Infantry with the 2nd Battalion Royal Regiment of Fusiliers for 14 years; Chris then challenged himself to successfully go through a rigorous selection process and into a Special Duties Unit. In 2010 Chris finished 22 years in the British Army, not forgetting all the operational, humanitarian tours and posting’s in between. After serving in the military, Chris did a short spell in Baghdad, Iraq as a private security contractor from there was then offered a position in a US Government mentoring contract which led to a further 5 years working very closely with the Afghan Special Forces and Afghan Department of Police Intelligence in Afghanistan, it’s fair to say that Chris had more than earned a quieter life cruising the River Great Ouse on his wide beam boat with his wife and dog while battling various elements of PTSD… However being the true soldier he is, Chris was set on helping his son build his landscaping business by whole heartedly offering his labour and woodworking skills to the business, not to mention his military precision mentality! Chris enjoys the challenge to compliment a project with his bespoke outlook, adding a sense of personalisation to a project suited.
