Originally from Cheshire, Chris Hulme has worked and lived in many parts of the UK. His career was always in shipping, transport, warehousing, world-wide import and export. He then became self employed for 5 years building up a company which he then sold due to ill health. He has worked in Nigeria, prior to their oil discoveries, which began his interest in Sub Saharan Africa. 
Chris became a volunteer with FARM Africa and continued with them until Operation Imprezza was set up. This level of involvement continues today devoting all his spare time as a volunteer. He is extremely proud to lead such a fantastic team, headed by Catherine in Kenya and here in the UK where he is Chair of Operation Imprezza.
