Chris Duggleby Media – Transformation, Risk and Lifestyle publications with a focus on health and diversity.
Before moving to media I spent many years in industry managing businesses and companies for one of the world’s largest international business groups. My last overseas business management position was as President of a large Asian chemical manufacturing Joint Venture between BP and a major Chinese Group.
On returning from Asia I was asked to use my first hand experience of business transformation and risk to support BP in its recovery from the Gulf of Mexico disaster. I took on a senior risk management position leading the Group’s design, testing and implementation of new protocols to manage risks associated with Commercial Compliance, Joint Ventures, and Transformation Projects.
You can find out more by using the links below to my business risk websites:
My current activities focus on lifestyle and health. Other media projects are in development (more later). I also have a keen interest in the very long Duggleby Family history which has a separate section on this website dedicated to it.
I hope you enjoy the site.
Chris.

Dear Chris,
Thank you for your article on your allergy to Pears soap. I now know I am not alone.
I too have an allergy to Biological washing powder but they are now banned from the house.
Couldn’t work out why I suddenly got a rash on my forearm and an itchy scrotum. Thought it was plums, I had over indulged at a pick your own place, but had not had a reaction to plums before.With anti histamine the rash went away.
At the same time my wife had started a bar of Pears Soap. So I stopped using that just in case.
Some weeks later I.e. yesterday I used the Pears soap again. Back came the rash.
So no more Pears soap for me.
Regards
Arthur
Thanks Arthur,
Judging by the tremendous interest in these article it certainly looks like we are not alone in experiencing allergy issues with common detergents and soaps. Enjoy your itch free future!
All the best, Chris.
