Chris Hawkes

Co-founder & CEO

I am the Co-founder and CEO at Strut. As is the case in many small businesses, that role does require me to wear a number of hats. So, as well as the overall running of the company I am responsible for scoping out new commercial opportunities and winning new clients. I’ll often find myself responding to a tender or creating the specification for a new piece of work. I am also heavily involved in the management of key client accounts. I think that is one area where Strut looks to add value, in that myself and Ed actively maintain those client relationships and continue to input into our journey together to ensure the original vision is not lost.

Beyond our client work, I am committed to supporting the business community and I believe in the power of collaboration and actively seek opportunities to contribute to the growth and development of our industry through thought leadership and community engagement.

Away from work, I’ve a busy family life with two young children, but when I get the chance I can be found out on my mountain bike, or during the winter hitting the slopes on my snowboard.
