Sir Christopher John Benson, OAM, DL, FRICS

Serial Chairman. Chair of the Soho Housing Association in 1990. In view of the number of companies and groups that he's run, we're pretty sure we've got the right man.

He was born on 20 July 1933 in Wheaton Aston, Staffordshire and his Wikipedia page gives much information about this man.

He died from from pulmonary fibrosis, aged 90 years, on 21 January 2024 at home in Salisbury, Wiltshire and his funeral service was held at Salisbury Cathedral on 22 February 2024.

He is shown as 'SIR CHRISTOPHER BENSON' on the Pargiter Court - history plaque at Pargiter Court, Ingestre Place, London, W1.
