Richard James Montgomery
Managing Director

I joined the team in 1997 and have done every job in the business. My role now covers financial planning and monitoring, vehicle acquisition and infrastructure growth.
Sales Manager
I joined the Mitchells family 14 years ago. I was attracted to the idea of working for a family run business as previously I’d always worked for larger national companies. I love the fact that although the business has grown during my time here, there’s still the same family atmosphere, and everyone will muck in and do what is needed to make sure the job gets done.
My typical day varies, from face to face and telephone meetings with existing and potential customers to completing quotations and tender documents, setting up new accounts and demonstrating our networks online ordering and tracking systems. My goal is to help to continually grow, care for and develop our client base.
Outside work, I’m Vice Chairlady for the largest all Female Football Club in the East Midlands. I’m also a qualified Football coach and spend my weekends either watching our Ladies team play or Coaching the clubs Future Stars – aged 4-7.
