We have stepped out on our own with an impressive track record of year-on-year growth and an exciting future ahead of us with aggressive plans to continue that growth. I am delighted that Chris has joined our team. His expertise in customer relationship management and seeking out new business opportunities will play a key role in helping us achieve our ambitious goals.”

Now it is time for us to focus on developing our home market and I’m looking forward to leading the charge. I am also excited to be working alongside Graeme and the rest of the CFC team and hope to play a significant role in developing their broker and business development strategies.”
