Co-founder & CEO

Chris Hawkes

Staying ahead of the trends, embracing new technology and always learning, so our clients get the value.

I’m the co-founder and CEO at Strut. As in many small businesses, the role means wearing a number of hats. As well as running the company, I scope out new commercial opportunities and win new clients, so I’ll often be answering a tender or writing the specification for a new piece of work.

I’m also heavily involved in looking after our key client accounts. It’s one of the ways Strut adds value: Ed and I keep those relationships close and stay part of the journey, so the original vision is never lost.

Beyond our client work, I’m committed to supporting the business community. I believe in the power of collaboration, and I look for ways to help our industry grow through thought leadership and community work.
