Trainer Profiles
At BPI Australia, training is built around real-world experience and practical application. New franchise owners are supported through a structured, hands-on program designed to build confidence, technical capability and business understanding from day one.
After working part-time within the industry and assisting his stepfather during the early years following BPI’s establishment, Chris developed a strong understanding of building practices, inspection standards and the systems that have shaped BPI over more than two decades. Throughout this time, he contributed to the ongoing development of BPI’s reporting processes, helping refine a system built from real-world experience rather than theory.
In 2012, Chris transitioned fully into operating his own business within the BPI family company, continuing to build extensive hands-on inspection experience while remaining closely involved in supporting the wider network. Alongside working in the field, he has consistently assisted Larry Ryan in training new inspectors and contributing to the evolution of the reporting platform used across BPI today.
Since taking on his own business within BPI, Chris has personally completed well over 11,000 solo building and pest inspections, giving him a depth of practical knowledge that is difficult to replicate through training alone. His experience comes from years of real inspections, real properties and real client situations – something franchise partners benefit from directly.
Hands-On Training and Ongoing Support
As Lead Trainer, Chris provides:
- In-person, practical training for new inspectors
- Real-time on-call advice during inspections
- Ongoing mentorship beyond initial onboarding
- Direct access to support from someone actively working in the field
BPI’s training model is intentionally personal and hands-on. Rather than learning through a corporate structure, franchise partners work directly with Chris — gaining insight from someone who understands the realities of inspections, business ownership and long-term growth.
Support doesn’t stop once training is complete. Chris remains available to provide guidance whenever it’s needed, ensuring every partner has access to experienced, practical advice as they grow within the BPI network.
