I have worked on Chris and The Campden Charities’ behalf since beginning my career in 2010, and Chris was instrumental in my personal development, for which I will be forever grateful.

Chris’ intellect was formidable, which I often found intimidating, but he was always respectful and gracious towards me even when I could tell he didn’t agree. Our interactions always focused my mind and set the standard for the service level I needed to provide.

Chris’ passion to improve the lives of those he represented was clear to see, which emphasised the importance of delivering the best outcomes we could for the Charity’s beneficiaries.

Equally clear from our interactions was his passion for his art, and over the years he came to share various photos of his work, which always made me wonder where his talents ended.

I will greatly miss my regular interactions with Chris. His loss was a great shock, and is a significant one for us all.
