Chris joined HLG in 2020 as an environmental consultant to offer an increased range of services for our clients.
Since that time, Chris has worked to establish HLG as the leading provider of sustainable development advisory services in the Island, creating a new revenue stream and developing a significant market presence. Chris has also developed a strong understanding of the local building and development sectors, and the services that HLG provide. Whilst acting ‘up’ as a Director in 2024 and 2025, Chris has proven himself to be a perfect fit in helping to manage and lead on the development of the business.
