Chris Waldron
Biography
Born on the Wirral in 1986, Chris graduated from the University of Liverpool in 2010 where he obtained an MChem.
After graduating he spent a year working in a number of roles for Unilever R&D in Port Sunlight before joining the Haddleton group in October 2011 to work on a Lubrizol funded project entitled 'Stimuli Responsive Polymers for Rheological Control'
