“Nobody knows the HSE issues with regards to the live music and event industry better than Chris! 
Literally 'he wrote the book!'” 

Christopher Runciman, Tour Manager, Project Manager, Sound Engineer, Stage Manager etc etc etc.

 “Chris and I worked in Delhi together for the Opening & Closing Ceremony for the Delhi 2010 Commonwealth Games. 
Anyone who is deeply involved in this industry knows the challenges involved. 
Chris had one of the most difficult jobs on site, especially when considering the complete lack of infrastructure and support given to his area by the Organising Committee. He performed his duties under the worst of all possible conditions. Chris did a remarkable job in providing the contractors with the safest possible work environment and was always there to help wherever he could with any problem on site. A key member of the international team and would work with him again anywhere.
