Chriss Andrews

Founder & CEO

Chriss Andrews

Founder & CEO

Being part of an RAF family, I moved around a lot during my early years. I studied modern languages in Aberdeen before working in Germany and London and eventually falling into recruitment in 1979. After five years decided to start up my own company and the rest as they say is history. I am still as passionate about recruitment after 36 years and proud to be a Fellow of the Institute of Recruitment Professionals.

Brian Fitzgerald

Managing Director

I joined Church International in 2003 having gained wide experience in building sales teams and as well as running my own recruitment company. The proudest moment in my career was becoming MD in 2006. I have really enjoyed being part of our growth and success. Outside of work I love any competitive sport - tennis, badminton, golf... and enjoy any challenge which allows me to raise money for the charities I support.

Patricia Phillips

Finance & HR Director

I've been responsible for our Finances and Business Support since Chriss set up the company in 1984 when it was just the two of us doing everything! I've managed to juggle a career in a successful and growing company and bringing up two children... challenging but hugely rewarding. My spare time is spent walking in the wonderful Kent countryside when I'm not chasing around after my three grandchildren.
