After graduating in politics and government from Essex University, Chris joined OMD in 1995 as a planner/buyer. A broad based apprenticeship followed, planning and buying across all media, but he eventually joined the newly formed specialist press department.

Chris was promoted to Head of Press and joined the Board in 2001, where he is responsible for press delivery across OMD UK’s client base.

Always eager to be involved, Chris is an active member of the ABC council and sits on the National Newspapers ABC committee.
