Meet Chris
Hi - thank you for visiting and for your interest in working with us.
I am a partnership development and account management professional with over 20 years of experience working in the poultry industry and wider food sector.
My background is built on working closely with producers, suppliers, manufacturers, and customers across the supply chain, developing long-term commercial relationships that deliver consistent and sustainable value. With experience spanning sourcing, supply coordination, and supplier development, I have a strong understanding of how the poultry market operates in practice.
My core strength lies in managing and developing key accounts, ensuring that relationships are structured, aligned, and commercially effective over the long term. My approach is measured and detail-focused, with an emphasis on clear communication, reliability, and delivering outcomes that are commercially sound.
Throughout my career, I have held roles across sales, commercial operations, and wholesale activity within the poultry sector, including responsibility for fresh and frozen poultry supply, supplier negotiations, and customer relationship management.
My work is grounded in a straightforward philosophy - understand the detail, build trust, and focus on opportunities that are realistic and sustainable over time.
If you're a food business looking for experienced commercial support, or a supplier wanting to develop business in the UK market, I'd love to have a conversation with you.
Please do feel free to ask me any questions you may have.
Chris
