Joining Clancy Consulting as Divisional Director this week is Russel Greenwood.  

Based in Clancy’s Leeds and Manchester offices, Chartered Engineer Russel will be providing experienced building services engineering to the multi-disciplinary consultancy.

Demonstrating proven skills in leadership, project and technical knowledge, and client relationship management, we warmly welcome him to the team and the Board and I look forward to supporting his career development here at Clancy.”

Russel’s new appointment further strengthens the senior management team in the North and follows Nick Barringer taking the post of Technical Director in the Manchester office in Autumn last year.
