I am Mark Russell. Over the past 25 years, I have honed my expertise in the security and fire industry both in the UK and overseas. Through my ascent from technician to management, my focused expertise now lies in project management and training in the fire and security sector.

It is with great anticipation that I bring my wealth of knowledge in effectively handling projects from inception to completion to this esteemed forum. Settling in Consett 12 years ago has presented an opportunity to actively contribute to the betterment of the town, while also providing a platform for the community to articulate their vision for the direction of Consett.
