Leisure

Chris was born in sight of Old Trafford and grew up in Salford so it is unsurprising that he is an avid Manchester United fan. He has a young family that keeps him busy but spends spare time at the gym and is a Level 1 CrossFit coach. He ‘tweets’ as often as possible about interesting publications, news and case law (follow him: @GutteridgeChris). Chris is a co-founder of ‘All Rise’ – a project designed to tackle bullying, harassment and discrimination at the Bar (All Rise (The Bar) – Open Collective). He is also a member of the Northern Circuit Equality, Diversity and Social Mobility Committee.
