Delivering complex
technology projects
at scale
From Premier League stadiums to Glastonbury Festival — I deliver complex technology projects across the UK's most demanding venues and live events.
About Me
Hi, I’m Christopher — a technology-focused project professional with a background in delivering digital systems and implementing technology solutions. I previously worked as a Project Manager at Kappture, where I managed the rollout and implementation of point-of-sale systems for major venues and clients, coordinating technical teams and stakeholders to deliver complex projects successfully.
Alongside my professional work, I have a strong passion for engineering and hands-on problem solving, having spent years repairing machinery on a smallholding, fixing and breaking cars for parts, and working on practical mechanical projects. I’m particularly interested in the intersection of technology, engineering, and business — and enjoy turning ideas into practical, working solutions.
