Chris welcomed me as a new Trustee to the Campden Charities in September 2005. His calm manner and wry humour made being part of the Trustee body  a very enjoyable if sometimes challenging experience, but always with the shared objective of helping those in need. His committment to the work done by Campden Charities was unwavering. It was a pleasure and a privilege to serve as a Trustee for over 10 years, thanks largely to Chris and the way he led the organisation.

His sudden death is a great loss and I send my condolences to his family and colleagues
