Insight
As at Fri 9 Oct 2026Russell Bland is Head of Finance at Hartside Student Living and a signatory-side finance voice on the Growth deal. He handles invoices and legal review of the order form. Both invoices ran late, with a purchase order matching delay given as the reason.
Role: Head of Finance in Nottingham, CRM role finance. He joined the 26 Feb 2026 negotiation call with James Whitworth and Bethany Cole, and was due to take the order form through legal review.
Influence: James holds the signature but agrees nothing until Russell has been through the order form. Russell and James both prefer quarterly payment. He is the addressee on every billing thread.
Watch: The implementation invoice and the Growth subscription invoice were chased as overdue. On 1 Jun 2026 Russell attributed the delay to purchase order matching and committed to the full £54k. The record does not show payment received. Most threads show no reply from him.
