Russell Chowdhury – Partner/Business Development Manager

Russell joins the company with almost 20 years of experience in customer service. Having spent time dealing with both corporate and public relations he will help to bring a cradle-to- grave customer experience that we hope surpasses that of our competitors.

He also spends many hours on the forums keeping in touch with what's happening outside of the business. Fresh ideas, innovation along with a strong technical background he will help improve the way the 'back office' works which will inevitably achieve a great all round service to the customer.
