Brought up in West Wales, Chris worked as a cameraman and director, travelling the world extensively. In 1991, he started to work on the other side of the camera and was chief weather presenter and forecaster on S4C for nearly 30 years, as well as working constantly on television, radio, in corporate and public sector events across Wales and the UK. A more recent development to the work has been hosting, presenting and facilitating events, both online and in person and he has worked extensively as host, MC, presenter and voice for numerous clients. Completely bilingual, he uses both Welsh and English effortlessly and skillfully and has many strings to his bow, including lecturing, merchandise designing, voice over artist, walks leader and entrepreneur.
Cafodd Chris ei fagu yn Orllewin Cymru, cyn dechrau gweithio fel dyn camera a chyfarwyddwr, yn teithio’r byd yn eang. Yn 1991, dechreuodd weithio yr ochr arall o’r camera a fuodd y brif gyflwynydd a tharoganwr tywydd ar S4C am bron i 30 mlynedd, yn ogystal a gweithio’n gyson ar y teledu a radio, ac mewn digwyddiadau corfforaethol a sector cyhoeddus dros Cymru a’r DU. Datblygiad newydd i’w waith yw cyflwyno a hyrwyddo digwyddiadau, ar-lein yn ogystal a mewn person. Mae wedi gweithio fel cyflwynydd, MC a llais ar gyfer sawl cleient. Yn hollol ddwyieithog, mae’n defnyddio Cymraeg a Saesneg yn ddiymdrech a gyda medusrwydd ac yn brofiadol mewn darlithio, dylynio marsiandïaeth, artist trosleisio, arweinydd cerdded ac entrepreneur.

We hired Chris as the Host for our collaboration event, Summer Start Up Week June 2020. A virtual start up week organised by 23 Enterprise Champions from Colleges and Universities across Wales, inspiring 566 aspiring entrepreneurs to develop their knowledge to start a business. One of the reasons we chose Chris as our host was that he is bilingual, and able to host the week in both English and Welsh, as required by the Welsh Language Policy. However, Chris’s wealth of experience hosting was evident from the get go, his mannerisms and ability to think fast and intervene at the first sign of any issue was invaluable. Chris ability to be adaptable to those he is interacting with and his a welcoming nature made our guest presenters and participants feel at ease and encouraged engagement throughout all of our sessions so that all attendees got the most out of the programme which span over 5 days.
Chris has fantastic communication skills, prior, during and post the event, offering support and working with the organisers to make the event as seamless as possibly. I cannot recommend Chris highly enough; we have already booked him for future events, if it were not for his input our award winning start up week would not have been as successful.
