He said the role had transformed his confidence, independence and life beyond work.
“I’ve literally just come back from my second family holiday ever,” he said. “There is no way on earth I’d ever have imagined doing that before.”
He said he had travelled to Ireland by boat and car but he did not yet feel able to get on a plane.
Chris said the support he received from colleagues at Jersey Post played a huge role in his recovery.
“This organisation has literally changed my life for the better,” he said.
Chris said his wife and children helped get him through the hardest years.
“They’ve just been incredible,” he said.
Paul Belhomme from Jersey Post said Chris was a “much-valued” member of the team.
“It’s been an absolute pleasure to have helped him get back into work and to watch him grow both personally and professionally during his time with us,” he said.
“From starting in processing to heading out on his own delivery round, Chris has worked very hard to get to where he is today.
“He’s known in the team and by his customers, for his positivity and kindness.”
