Series 3, Episode 6: Chris Finch
Chris Finch is an NHS Mental Health Worker. He has a passion for repair, fixing bikes from his garage, and many more things from his cellar, which is packed with tools, spare parts, and objects waiting to be mended. Chris appears in The Breaks & Joins film.
"My name is Chris and I am in my mid 60s. I have many interests and enjoy using my practical skills in my spare time. I studied Art originally and have had many different jobs but have built a career in the field of mental health support for more than 30 years. I love many things from the past such as bicycles, motorcycles and vintage machines and enjoy the challenges of repairing and renovating things that might otherwise end up in landfill."
