Chris has been an active member of CMAE for many years having completed all 5 of the CMAE Management Development Programmes and participated in the CMAE European Conference and the CMAA World Conference.

Chris will take up his role at Huddersfield Golf Club in January 2019.

Commenting on his appointment Chris said “I’m thrilled that Huddersfield Golf Club have given me the opportunity to return to the Club Management arena, allowing me to utilise the fantastic education from the CMAE MDP program. Without completing the MDP program and the continued support of the educators and club management peers after each program I don’t think I would now have this exceptional opportunity.”
