Chris joined the Lynch team in January 2012 after learning his trade in the used plant machinery sales industry. His first position was working as a haulage manager, routing tipper and grab lorries in Lynch’s Midlands depot in Northamptonshire. Chris soon moved onto the service desk, organising service engineers, purchasing parts and managing the workshop staff within the depot.

As the Midlands depot grew throughout 2013 Chris was promoted to Transport manager. During his 18 months as transport manager, Chris grew the Midlands fleet from 7 lorries to 17, while working on improving standards, improving service and meeting hire demands. Along with his transport role, Chris grew relationships with several major contractors such as Skanska, Carillion and Balfour Beatty looking after major projects across the midlands region. In December 2014, Chris was promoted to depot manager for the Midlands area. At 28 years old he became the youngest depot manager in Lynch’s history.

In July 2016, Chris moved to the Head office in Hemel Hempstead to become the head of key accounts: a department set up to offer an industry leading service to the largest customers and major projects. Chris has led Lynch’s involvement on several major projects, such as the East West rail link for the Carillion / Buckingham JV and recently the £1.5 billion A14 project in Cambridgeshire for the Integrated Delivery Team lead by Balfour Beatty, Costain and Skanksa.

In 2019, Chris was made a Director of the company.

On his meteoric rise through the company Chris commented "Lynch has always offered progression to all of their staff and I am testimony to this fact, plus it’s also a great company to work for".
