In between working and taxiing his teenage son's from one sports event to another, Bill enjoys trying to keep up with the younger GRM staff on the badminton and squash courts.

Chris Jerram

Chris Jerram is GRM's Finance Director. Chris graduated from the University of Leeds in 1976 with a BSc (Hons) in Mining and Geology, having many years of experience in site investigations, ground improvement and geotechnical engineering fields. Chris has extensive experience of the investigation and treatment of derelict land. He acquired project management and organisational skills from his time as Contracts Manager with large ground improvement contractors.

Chris regularly likes to chivvy the troops. Easily the joker of the Directors, Chris has more physical and verbal energy than the rest of mankind put together.
