He commented: “I am delighted to be joining CRM now and will be bringing my IF experience to bear on problem-solving. I am particularly interested in the insolvency side and building on relationships that CRM already have in this space where they are hugely respected.”

Chris’s passion and skills for relationship management made him a strong fit with the CRM culture as CRM Director Tony Roche explained: “It’s a highly collaborative community of professionals looking to do their best for referrers, funders and end clients, in both distress and non-distress situations.”

“As well as working in the insolvency sector Chris will be helping us to unlock early intervention credit management and cash flow advisory work to help businesses try to recover from a wealth of issues.”

Chris agreed: “This is a good time to be talking to businesses, now facing creditor reckoning, cost of living and energy price hikes, and bringing expertise to their situations – whether it’s debt recovery, debt security or simple good habits with credit control. It makes a big difference to business success and funder confidence.”

When he is not working Chris enjoys watching his 11 year old son play football, coaching football himself and long walks with the dog whenever he can.
