Corinna graduated from Brunel University with a degree in German and Politics. She went to work for a series of companies (Mercedes, N.C.R.), mainly in the Sales and I.T areas. She lived with her parents in Amersham and fortunately (from Chris' perspective) did not relocate to Milton Keynes with Mercedes. Chris and Corinna met in church in September 1983 after Chris started his first job teaching physics at Dr Challoner's Grammar School in Amersham.
