Russell was the go-to DP technical "authority" when I was Chief Operating Officer at C-MAR Group. Few know more about the subject and indeed the history and I spent some time fending off competitors who would always be trying to recruit him. I commend his initiative to start DP Maintenance training as a third party provider which was very successful in Asia. His knowledge and capabilities are widely recognised, if not formally, by the global industry having worked in the Americas, Europe and Asia. At C-MAR, he held a global portfolio and was responsible for coaching and mentoring of many, many trainee DP consultants. But then his knowledge of the industry was also the driver behind our first global contract for DP consultancy - FMEA and Annual Trials - as well as a sales technique that combined persistency, cunning and delegation extraordinaire. I valued his counsel hugely and still discuss the industry with him today even though I am no longer directly involved. A friend, mentor and colleague, I would recommend unreservedly his knowledge of DP and the wider offshore industry.

Over more than 20 years I have been fortunate to benefit from Russell's technical expertise and deep understanding of the complexities and potential pitfalls of DP systems, don't you just love DP cross connects. He asks the uncomfortable questions and when he in turn is asked invariably has the answers. His depth of DP experience sets him apart, he takes a holistic whole ship view and his opinions are grounded in common sense, surprising given he started as a Marconi sparky!
