Chris Wright

Lecturer in IT & Computing

I have worked in the IT industry for 10 years in various positions such as Specialized Factory Control Equipment and Specialized Data Erasure and Engineering. I spent most of this time interacting with a variety of clients and industries. This has given me a broad insight into how the IT industry runs and operates. I can bring this insight and expertise into the classroom, giving the students an example of how their studies mimic and impact the real world.
