Quick Summary
Russell Powell joined The NX Group as Finance Director in August 2013 to lead commercial financial operations and support business expansion. He manages the logistics organisation alongside Managing Director Neil Powell following the appointment by Chairman Michael Powell. Prior to this position, Powell managed commercial finance within large retail organisations. His directorship established financial systems enabling fleet expansion and warehousing infrastructure development across the Midlands. Furthermore, his strategic roadmap prioritises scaling cross-border freight collaborations with European transport carriers and funding workforce training.
“From working for a major bookseller and retailer, I had a fair bit of experience working in a large, complex organisation,” explained Russell, who joined the firm in August 2013, “and from this good grounding I have set up systems that will stand this company in good stead and allow us to expand.”
Russell, who is from Leicestershire, runs the company with his brother Neil Powell, Managing Director, and was invited to join by their father Michael Powell, the Chairman. “I was a bit apprehensive of joining at first,” recalls Russell, “ as it was a major step for me, and was a lot of responsibility to take on, in terms of our many staff, and in terms of our important clients and their services.
“Five years on however, we’re now looking to take the business to the next level, perhaps diversifying, expanding our fleet and warehousing space and we’re also hoping to work with more European hauliers in the run-up to the big changes which may be coming to the industry next year.”
“As a growing firm, we encourage our staff to take steps to expand their working knowledge and job skills, and support them where appropriate.”
