During his time as technical director at Abott Joinery, Russell contributed to the development of new build PVC-window and cavity closer systems. He also worked in site installation, contract management and supply chain procedure development.

Before joining the GGF as a technical officer, Russell held a position in an Italian composite material systems company.
