Daniell added: "Russell has worked in a diverse range of organisations from start-ups to small and large businesses, in entrepreneurial and corporate styles, at companies including Daisy, Isis Telecommunications, Flexphone, IP Integration, Vodafone and Elite Group, as well as running his own consultancy for many years.

"Russell's strategic leadership, motivation, drive, team focus, innovative approach and sector knowledge really stood out in our selection process for the role."
