Mark McQuater CEO of Revolution Bars Group plc said:
“I am delighted to announce Godfrey Russell’s promotion to Group Property Director. Growing and refreshing our businesses is at the heart of Revolution’s success – in the last year we have invested over £14m in opening new sites and our existing estate giving us one of the best supported businesses in the sector.”
Russell joined Revolution 19 years ago and is one of many long-standing employees, illustrating the importance the Company puts on career progression and personal development.
