About Chris Ruston

I am a self motivated, success orientated hospitality and leisure professional with strong operational skills and solid experience in business development, people management and profit delivery.My Belbin profile (May 2012) is Shaper/Monitor Evaluator and summarises me as "...a thinking decisive person who acts confidently, offers mental robustness and believes in getting to the truth by searching it out, whatever the obstacles."My 25 years working for corporate organisations who are all market leaders within their particular sector has not only provided me with tremendous opportunities and experiences but has undoubtedly shaped my ability to assess situations, provide clear direction and deliver results.Having a strong work ethic will always be important to me and its unlikely that early retirement will ever be a foreseeable option!
