The move will allow Rushmans to introduce a raft of new services as well as operating existing projects worldwide.
Rushmans has provided high-level event planning and management services to the organisers of events including the IRB Rugby World Cup, UEFA, European Football Championships, ICC Cricket World Cup, The Asian Games, AFC Africa Cup of Nations and FIFA World Club Championships.
“Tim Mitchell joins the team at a pivotal point in our history,” said Chairman and Founder Nigel Rushman. “His appointment will enable Glen Kirton, one of the best respected people in sports management, to focus on service planning, delivery and quality at a time of rapid growth.”
Tim Mitchell spent nine years with risk management giants Marsh, playing a key role in establishing them as one of the leaders on the international sports scene. Clients included the Organising Committees of successive Olympic Games, IRB Rugby World Cups and FIFA World Cups.
