      Chris joined The National in June 2018 and has been part of the UAE media scene for numerous years. Prior to moving to the country, he worked as a reporter and editor for local newspapers in the north of England for more than a decade. Chris has sought to embrace the UAE lifestyle, with ill-advised antics including driving around the Yas Marina race track and jumping out of a plane for a sky dive.
