Laura Burke
Founder, Laura Burke Training & Consultancy
“I had the pleasure of working with Chris for nearly 4 years. He’s a natural commercial leader and I found my weekly catch ups invaluable. Through sharing ideas, and insightful questions, I often came with an issue needing solving and left with a plan that then fed into the larger strategic direction. Chris’s skill is managing to do this with simple compelling language, empathy and humour.”
Sharon Gavin
