Russell Jones-Walker
Hello, I’m Russ and have been a member of Sterling Networks now for a number of years, I previously held the Insurance seat in a few of the Cheltenham networking groups on behalf of a Cirencester based brokerage and have built up an extensive local network across the Cotswolds. When the opportunity arose to launch a Cirencester Breakfast for Sterling Networks I jumped at the opportunity and am extremely excited to be involved.
