Ambition
To generally improve my life in different aspects.
What made you get involved in competitions?
I am quite competitive and competing means so much for your career. I get a lot of
self-satisfaction out of a competition.
What does this experience mean to you?
It didn’t seem achievable when the competitions started, but now I can see the finish
line and it has totally motivated me to reach out and go the extra step.
Personal achievements
I’ve always been competitive and been in 3 WorldSkills UK national finals. I became the Welsh
Champion in pentathlon when I was 11 and beat the record of the stadium.
Something we didn’t know about Christopher
I’m a sporty outdoor type of guy. I like motorbikes and trying new things (climbing, skiing,
cycling) I like anything to do with wildlife and am interested in how the eco system works.
