Thank you Chris, for your hard work and dedication

I remember meeting Chris Cook at one of the social events for models and photographers. We got on great straight away and with Chris being a software developer too we had lots in common. PurplePort was embryonic then with just over 1,000 active members.

It wasn’t long before Chris joined the team at PP, in early 2012, part time as PP wasn’t paying anyone for their time. He was so keen, so excited by it, and I was so tired and lacking in enthusiasm that he certainly changed the pace of things. I was really grateful for his enthusiasm and his input has shaped the face of PurplePort.

Chris has impacted so much of PurplePort that it’s hard to separate the two things. He is essentially indelibly inked onto the fabric of PP. His attention to detail and hard work have relentlessly improved the service we are able to offer our customers.

So it’s with a heavy heart that I say that this week is his last at PPHQ, Chris is leaving the PP team to pastures new, which I hope will be exciting and help him achieve the success he so richly deserves.

Thank you brother, for your friendship, your guidance and wisdom, for all of the hard work you have put in, the fun times, the inevitable squabbling together, nitpicking, creativeness, ingenuity, and for helping us create and maintain such a fabulous service over such a long time.

Chris will be sorely missed here at PPHQ.

Best of luck in your new venture, Chris. Hope it's nothing to do with your Uncle Thomas's holiday business :)

It is clear that PP would not be what it is without the valued input from Chris. 

Good luck Chris in your new venture

Best of luck Chris Cook in your new ventures. And well done Russ Freemanfor acknowledging him. So often people break their backs and don't even get a 'thank you' in private.

Chris all the best in your new venture, I know you have been a great support and help for many of the PP community and I am sure you are going to be missed by a lot of people here. I hope you stick around and pop in every now and again, and keep your profile here. Here is to your future and pastures new. All the very best!
