Following in his father’s footsteps, Sean Russell has completed his first year working for MIS Fuel Monitoring as a post graduate management trainee. As well as learning the ropes, Sean has made an important contribution by helping the company to implement improved business management processes.
Sean decided to join Merridale after securing a business degree at Wolverhampton University.
