REL Team
REL Team is the heartbeat of our Company
The REL management team determined from the outset that good people are the heartbeat of any good company. We believe the people who work with REL have the passion, commitment and expertise our customers can rely on for a world-class service, where Quality and Customer Care have always been at the heart of our plans and operations.
"We have said from day one that our employees will be the foundations of our business. I know lots of companies say something similar. However, I strongly believe in treating our employees with respect, empowering them to make decisions and supporting them with strong leadership, nurturing their personal development to become integral parts of the business. I'd like you to meet just some of the people who have worked to make our Company what it is today" TOM HARWOOD, CEO.
Tom set up REL Group over 22 years ago. With an active role in the direction of the company, Tom is still hands-on with all areas of the business. When not working Tom will be found on the golf course.
