Rosslyn McMaster, director, Russell & Russell on discovering the benefits of Zoom long before Covid arrived, helping businesses to grow and how she’s still working on achieving the perfect work life balance.

Looking forward, the biggest changes to our organisation in the post Covid era will be .... hybrid working - having the best of both worlds; the office culture and social aspects vs avoiding the traffic and reducing our carbon footprint. Also, online meetings are much more common. As a business we have been using Zoom since 2015 which made the transition in March 2020 much easier. Again, this saves on travelling time and has a positive impact on the environment.

The future vision for our organisation in Glasgow is .... to continue helping businesses to grow. It is so fulfilling for us to see businesses grow and the people behind them achieving their goals. We also plan to continue growing our team as our team are essential to the support that we provide to our clients.

The three best things about working in Glasgow are ....

- The people

- Our hospitality industry

- The business connections

My favourite part of Glasgow is .... the West End with its amazing atmosphere, great bars and restaurants.

The most satisfying thing about my job is .... working with a team that I am so proud of and what we help our clients to achieve.

Financial services is a great career choice because .... there is so much variety and no two days are ever the same.

The businesspeople I most admire are .... Ken and Alastair Russell. Given that I started working at R&R back in September 2000 under their mentorship, I will be forever grateful to them for everything they have taught me. They have grown the business from the 70s, nailing challenges along the way and achieving many accomplishments.

Outside of work, I am passionate about .... my family and enjoying holidays and weekends together.

My approach to achieving work life balance is .... currently non-existent. This is something I am still working on!

First ever job? Working in my Dad's watch and jewellery repairs shop, serving customers.

Favourite boxset? There's too many - back in the day I loved 24.

Favourite band? Take That

Sunshine or snow? Definitely sunshine

And, finally, what three words best sum you up? Dedicated, supportive and dependable.
