In November 2015, CEO Paul Russell took a major step in expanding this successful family business with the acquisition of the Derbyshire-based Hallmark Tractors (more about that in our MAY issue). But with the acquisition of Hallmark, Paul knew it would be virtually impossible to continue to manage and visit all the depots and give enough time to this demanding role, so he decided to change the company structure and introduced the first fully autonomous Branch Manager. Boroughbridge was to be the first branch - but who would take on the post? Enter Justin Mumby, who had been with Russell’s as a salesman for three years until 2014 .Justin felt that in order to really develop himself and his career he wanted to experience the agricultural machinery business from different perspectives. His first port of call was the PICHON Group, manufacturers of slurry tankers and manure spreaders based in Guipavas in France.
