New Member Laing Russell

March 1st 2021

Laing Russell is a management consultancy firm based in Darlington. Laing Russell supports organisations in setting and delivering the strategies that enable them to achieve their business goals through digital technology.

Working with clients across all sectors and sizes, the firm’s current clients include: two of the local universities, Durham and Newcastle; two well-known financial services companies and a global information technology services corporation.

A fairly recent venture, Laing Russell was established by Alistair Russell, a professional in his field who has over 30 years’ experience in the management consulting industry, previously working with Chief Information Officers and Senior Executives worldwide.

Prior to becoming a member, Alistair had enjoyed Tees Valley Business Club events as a guest and was thoroughly impressed with the calibre of the content and the quality of the network.

Having worked with businesses across Europe, Asia Pacific and the Americas, Alistair hopes to gain more local clients and feels the Tees Valley Business Club will be beneficial by providing a platform to network with new people.

“When searching for networking groups to join, I concluded that the Tees Valley Business Club was the best in the region. I believe it’s really important to learn from others, I’m looking to strengthen my local network, gain new clients and meet likeminded professionals in the area, so being a member of the club will give me the opportunity to do just that.”
