“I had the rare privilege of working with Chris for four years at Expo 2020, where he proved to be an incredibly loyal and dedicated colleague. His diverse skills span creative, film, audio, and digital platforms, making him instrumental in shaping Expo’s sonic branding, dynamic soundscapes, digital screen content, and the inspiring theme tune. With a unique blend of artistic creativity and technological expertise, Chris is both practical and visionary. He is patient, perceptive, and highly capable of managing complex, ever-changing environments with confidence and grace. Whether as a team member or leader, he has my highest recommendation.”

“Working in often challenging field conditions, I breathe easier knowing that Chris is in charge of our work in the studio. His remarkable technical skills have salvaged success from disaster too many times for me to count. Come what may, his vision for a broadcast and his dedication to our work represent the difference between mere success, and that wonderful feat of producing a programme that we are all extremely proud to have contributed to. Chris Atkins is the best producer I have worked with in 20 years. Period.”

“Chris is one of those people that you just need to have on your team. He’s creative, professional, responsive, 100% reliable, and honorable. We worked together on the ‘Song for Expo 2020’ project and I was blown over by his attention to detail, good humour, and ability to get the job done whilst considering everyone’s point of view. Highly recommended!”
