Our collaboration between Operations and R&D showed that we are able to create innovative products and approaches which till today are challenging... any respectful business related to Fire Extinguishers and which values creativity, knowledge and innovation should knock on Chris's door for collaboration"

"Chris had engineering responsibility for all product development at Chubb Fire. He led his team through the UK’s most successful period of extinguisher innovation. This included changes to portable extinguishers (sizes and types), extinguishing agents, standards and their performance. He is extremely knowledgeable about manufacturing standards both UL and EN3 (probably the World’s foremost) and is an excellent team member."

"I  worked with Chris for many years in Chubb Fire and United Technologies. He is a great team player and a highly experienced and excellent engineer, especially with fire security products. He is not only able to design high performance products but is highly skilled and knowledgeable in putting them through extensive testing processes. In close collaboration with the supply chain and manufacturing teams, he ensured products met cost and manufacturing quality targets providing support to suppliers and the production specialists, paying great attention and importance to the requirements of standards, processes and culture of continuous improvement.
