 Chris followed in his father’s footstep and started his career editing documentaries for the BBC.

 He was soon offered an opportunity to work on feature films and worked as an assistant editor, visual effects editor and sound editor on many films.

 He graduated to full editor on Michael Tuchner’s “Wilt”. During the making of “Wilt” Chris met Mel Smith, Chris went on to work with Mel for many years, notably on “Bean” which was hugely successful worldwide.
