The Final Step

Chris is one of our Technical Support Engineers, who joined the team in 2010 as part of our growth plans. He started his working life as a bank manager, but switched pretty swiftly to IT and is now a Microsoft Certified Systems Administrator with seven years’ experience in the industry. He has worked in both the UK and Australia, and is readily recognisable by his colourful choice in socks!

TWO MINUTE INTERVIEW

What are your favourite pastimes?

I love tennis and football, and I’m a keen surfer – of waves that is, not the net! Probably helped by living in Australia in the past, and having a sister that lives in LA. I also enjoy watching films and listening to live music, with a particular penchant for tribute bands.

Anything other than sport?

Does watching sport count? I’m a Spurs supporter, which has its ups and downs . . . I’m also keen on cooking and am learning to cook thanks to a friend who works in the food industry. A recent triumph was a beef and chorizo pie which went down a storm with all six recipients. And it was all made from scratch, including the pastry - not even Luisa makes her own pastry!

Likes or dislikes?

I hate sitting on the train and having to listen to other people’s pointless conversations!

What would you have done if you hadn’t gone into IT?

I’d have been a racing driver! I used to do Go-Kart racing and I’m keen to show my moves if we arrange a works outing. I’m the perfect height and weight for formula one - and there is a slight resemblance to Lewis Hamilton as well, honest!
