What we believe

We are passionate about helping businesses define, articulate and communicate who they are and what they do in such a way as to enhance their reputation. We believe reputation is an amalgam of what you do, what you say and what people say about you and we help businesses at each stage of this reputational journey, from helping them articulate their corporate DNA, through to message definition and content creation to reflect this, through to stakeholder relations and communications programs.

I have worked with Chris nearly 10 years now, initially in his team at Burson Marsteller, later as his client at Firmenich, where he helped us on several projects, from helping define our Purpose strategy to supporting our crisis communications strategy and helping to train senior executives on crisis response in Europe and the USA. I know I can always depend on his strategic insights, and his leadership, and what's more, he is very easy to work with, fun, flexible and someone who rolls his sleeves up and gets the job done.

Chris headed the BM agency team working on Hewlett Packard Enterprise in EMEA when I was VP of Global Communications. He was able to get the best out of a diverse group of 100 people working across 45 countries, make everything work seamlessly and raise our profile significantly. At the same time, I and my senior executives in the HP business could always rely on his wise counsel on strategic communications issues - Chris is a trusted right hand.

Chris and I worked together during my tenure as Global Head of Communications at Louis Dreyfus Company, when he led the external PR agency team. He is an accomplished communications professional who could always be relied upon to share relevant insights and provide expert advice, even at short notice and in relation to intricate issues. It was a true pleasure working with Chris and his team.

I have had the pleasure of working with Chris twice but most notably when he was the agency lead whilst I was at SAP. Chris was nothing short of incredible. Sharp. Pragmatic. Creative. Well-connected, a great leader and created an impressive client team. On top of this he was supportive when I stepped into a new role, always went above and beyond. Wasn’t afraid to roll his sleeves up and helped on all topics from crisis, strategy, media engagement, planning, messaging, workshops and more.

Chris was instrumental in helping me to build an efficient and effect corporate communications function for the senior EMEA business leaders at Adobe. His understanding of the wider issues of reputation management helped us to bridge the gap between our product and corporate messaging delivering results in a short space of time. Chris was a trusted adviser to me and the regional management team. Chris has constantly demonstrated his ability to lead and shape agency teams to meet the needs of the client.

Chris is a seasoned communications professional with very strong instincts regarding what makes communications programs successful. As a leader, Chris has consistently motivated me to deliver value with excellence. He remains a mentor to this day, despite it being years since we have worked together. One of the things I admire most about his leadership is his ability to strike the perfect balance between challenge and support - he is committed to challenging his team to help them grow and learn, but at the same time he is willing to roll up his sleeves and provide support when it is needed. I look forward to working with him again in the future and can strongly recommend him - he would be a strong asset to any team
