Questions and answers with our Chris
Name: Chris Watson
Job title: Deepsea Manager
A little bit about yourself…
I am an East Hull guy through and through; born, raised, educated and lived there all my life…it’s not such a bad place! I have been married to my wonderful wife, Julie, for nearly 32 years and have two children, Adam & Samantha, two grandchildren, Phoebe & Ella, plus the family pets, Tilly the cat, and last, but by no means least, our super-friendly chocolate Labrador, Bailey! I am now in my 28th year at Neill & Brown and enjoying being part of the 100 years celebrations; it’s amazing to see how the company has grown and developed from when I started back in 1989.
Star likes
Hull: It is great place to live, and to see the impact that the City of Culture title has had on the city is fantastic. Not only with the cultural events that are taking place throughout 2017, but the overall long-term improvements to the city centre and surrounding areas are making such a difference and will leave a long-term legacy to be enjoyed by future generations.
Food: I love seafood but a medium-rare steak cooked correctly is another one that is always a winner.
Hobby: I like watching football and have been supporting Hull City since the age of 10….a long time!
Film: ‘Armageddon’ is a firm favorite, but another classic has to be ‘Planes, Trains & Automobiles’.
Show: The Rod Stewart concert at the K-Com stadium last year was amazing – I hope I can still move around like that guy when I reach 70!
Book: Mark Billingham is one of my favorite writers – his books have provided many a good holiday read.
Sport: Apart from walking Bailey twice a day, which I don’t think counts, I don’t participate in any sport but fully intend to bring my angling gear out of retirement!
Place: Orlando in Florida has got to rank at the top of the list.
And, finally, two questions to finish
Which celebrity would you like to meet?
Being an animal lover, David Attenborough would be a great dinner guest, he must have some great stories to tell.
Who do you most admire?
I am a big fan of space exploration so have huge admiration for all of the astronauts who have participated in the space missions in recent decades.
