James Diddams - Engineering Manager - London Marine Consultants / DWR Offshore 

"Russell was an asset to my engineering team and construction site team; he was employed from the initial engineering design phase to Turret loadout in Vietnam. The passion and driven motivation to enhance all aspects of safety of others, not only in the office but the construction site was incredible. Given the language barriers faced with in the Vietnam fabrication yard, this did not deter Russell and he still managed to gain the trust of the Vietnamese workers at all levels and improve the overall yard work practices. We managed to deliver the Turret LTI free with over a million man-hours spent in very confined conditions and this was really down to Russell’s continued monitoring, advising, training, and due-diligence, and most importantly enthusiasm in ensuring best practice was performed throughout the build. I would not hesitate to have Russell as part of my Project team again and look forward to working with him in the near future"

 

Tim Woods - Managing Director - London Marine Consultants / DWR Offshore

"Russell was employed as an HSE consultant to London Marine Consultants after consideration of his excellent CV, and a very engaging telephone interview during which it was immediately obvious that Russell was a top rate communicator.  LMC required someone to both develop a documented HSE management system for the company, but also to act as HSE Manager for a very large design and fabrication project, with responsibilities covering not only office-based document generation and review but also extensive on-site HSE supervision.  Russell excelled in all spheres, significantly impacting not only project HSE records, but also HSE records for a major fabrication outfit in SE Asia over the course of his duties. 

Russell is a diligent and effective worker, and moreover is a pleasure to work with.  Ultimately, the acid test of people you work with is whether or not you would choose to work with them again; Russell’s number is on speed dial"

 

Mark Beatty - Quality Engineer - Consultant

"When it comes to Health and Safety there are many companies and individuals out there claiming expertise, but Russell Grant really helped the Pionero de Libra Project to make H&S happen proactively within the Ship Yard and reduce and eliminate any incidents. I can confidently trust the ability of Russell to deliver, advise or manage the H&S requirements with ease and effectiveness. I would highly recommend Russell to potential customers"

 

Paul Thomson - CEO - Malta Oil & Gas 

“I worked with Russ on a large drilling and production campaign for a western mid-sized producer in the West African region. Russ was instrumental in conveying and installing the safety culture to the local and western workforce and was proactive in his approach. The campaign was a new development which included operational activities involving drilling, logistics and production phases and Russ was responsible for ensuring the entire campaign was incident free. On meeting Russ you will know immediately that you are dealing with a seasoned experienced safety professional who can provide a wealth of expertise and can provide you with a comfort factor in knowing that the safety of your operations will be managed by a competent, approachable, experienced professional. Our 3-year campaign was incident free"

 

Adam Robinson - Operations Integrity Manager - KCADeutag

"Russ is a dedicated and extremely qualified HSE professional with an abundance of experience and knowledge related to the Oil and Gas industry. Russell utilizes his experience and ability to engage those around him to ensure that the HSE policies and procedures are embedded within the operation and supports the change to improve the safety culture. The way that Russell applies his trade ensures that any operation that he is involved with will see an instant improvement in compliance but more importantly a long term effect across the entire work force. I would personally recommend Russell to any operation and look forward to hopefully working together again in the future"
