The latest in our Staff Spotlight Series features Russell Hurcombe, our newly appointed Business Development Manager. Russell has been with GRM for nearly 11 years (we’re looking forward to cake in November Russell!) and has progressed from his initial role as an assistant geologist/technician through to senior engineering geologist and commercial manager before taking on a greater business support role.
Russell is also the ‘social secretary’ for GRM, helping to keep the team motivated through various social and fundraising events throughout the year (curry nights, axe throwing, annual rounders match and summer BBQ to name a few). Russell’s love of rugby and ‘connections’ means he also organises a popular trip to Cardiff every year for an international match at the Principality Stadium. This year its Wales vs Argentina in November.
Outside of his business development role, Russell spends his time with family including his dog Guinness, plays for Melbourne RFC (which GRM sponsor) and makes regular blood and platelet donations (https://platelets.blood.co.uk/)
Russell has a busy week this week with amongst other things a day of golf at Horsley Lodge in Derbyshire for the RammSanderson annual golf day (purely in the name of business of course) – he has a lot to live up to with Bill Peacock and Geoff Beckett being on the winning team for the inaugural golf day back in September 2019 (https://rammsanderson.com/the-company/blog/rammsanderson-hosts-inaugural-golf-day/), and another trip to the Nottingham donation centre.
Look out for an update of how the GRM team fare at the golf day in our post next week!
