Chris Cox, originally from Edgware, north west London, is the latest addition to our sales team. He’s been in the industry for 17 years clocking up loads of experience both in working for one of the big names and also as a sole trader. Talk about two sides of the coin.
We are really pleased to have Chris on board, who colleagues describe as bringing a ‘breath of fresh air’ to the business.
The first thing you notice about him is that he has definitely got plenty of energy. Of course, the fact that he’s a mad football fan could account for this.
An avid Spurs fan he’s followed them loyally through the highs and lows. However, on further exploration we discover he basically loves any game or sport that involves a ball, and by all accounts is pretty good with whatever you throw at him, regularly playing for his local tennis club and often partaking in other sports too.
As well as being half Spanish, he’s also had a number of claims to fame. Cue, lots of name dropping. Playing football at both Wembley and Highbury stadiums. Playing cricket against and bowling out Justin Langer. Watching Andy Murray win his second Wimbledon.
So what does the sports obsessed, family focussed and generally enjoying all that life has to offer Chris, love most about his job?
He’s a self confessed ‘people person’ and says that “spending time with people and helping them get the right solution is what gives me job satisfaction every day”.
“You just learn so much from talking to people. From all walks of life, I literally learn something new every day and then go home to bore my wife with it”
“This is a great time to join Gregor. Being a part of a family business that puts its customers first is definitely what attracted me to join.
“It’s also a very exciting time in the industry right now. The next generation of heating technology means we have so many more options now available to heat people’s homes.
“Although it’s easy to get lost in all the chatter around the need to save the planet, it’s a very real issue affecting us all and I see my job as helping to meet people’s needs to heat their homes and also do our bit to help to make the world an even better place.”
There we have it. If you’re lucky enough to have the opportunity to meet Chris, there’s a few conversation starters for you. Better get the kettle on!
