Chris Whittle promoted to Head of Commercial

We are absolutely delighted to announce the promotion of Chris Whittle from Commercial Manager to his new role as Head of Commercial.

Chris first joined Thorpes Joinery in 2004 as a trainee estimator, and his growth and development have been intrinsic to the development of our company.

Since moving into commercial management in 2009, Chris has worked closely with all aspects of our business, gaining experience in supporting Project Managers, Estimators and Site Installation teams in successfully delivering high-profile projects throughout the country.

Chris’s work in providing accurate, reliable and timely financial information for our clients has been paramount to the smooth running of several prestigious projects in recent years, and his ability to form meaningful relationships with clients has aided this greatly.

Currently, Chris is undertaking a vocational qualification supported by the business, and will soon become a chartered, MCIOB-qualified Construction Manager, this will be a terrific achievement that is a testament to his own development and work ethic.

I am over the moon to be promoted to Head of Commercial, it is a role I am hugely passionate about and cannot wait to get going.

Chris is a natural choice for the role. His attention to detail and commercial awareness make him a perfect fit, but crucially, he truly gets what Thorpes are all about.
