“I had the pleasure of working with Richard for several years whilst I was managing the branded generic portfolio at Teva. Always utterly professional with extensive experience of digital, print spaces and new innovation, he took time with his team to truly listen and understand our Go to market plans. He then ensured that we achieved the maximum for our budget from our multimedia campaign, when often the budget for the whole portfolio was considerably smaller than most single brands (luckily he has a cracking sense of humour!), helping us to achieve and surpass our sales expectations. Also, importantly his team were hot with regards to project management , providing a clear and comphrehensive plan for the year ahead, ensuring that deadlines were met and individual items pushed out where required assuring us we were always in very safe hands.”

https://www.reading.ac.uk/about/sports-hall-of-fame/richard-springham.aspx Richard represented England and Great Britain in hockey. He also competed with Reading Hockey Club for many years, acting as captain for three seasons and winning four national premiership titles, three national cup titles and one Euro Hockey League bronze. During his time at the University of Reading, Richard received a sports scholarship and was often found at the SportsPark. He represented the University in numerous British Universities Sports Association tournaments—something he took great pride in doing – while also playing regularly with the Under-21 England team. In the final year of his degree, Richard balanced revision with preparation for his call up to the England senior squad, where he earnt his first international cap in a match against Germany in May 2007. He won his first cap for the Great Britain team in 2010 and went on to compete in both indoor and outdoor tournaments across the globe. In 2011, he was part of the first England team to play in the Indoor World Cup. Two years later, under his captaincy, the team competed at the 2013 European Indoor Championships. More locally, Richard played with nationally renowned Reading Hockey Club for more than a decade, competing in many hundreds of games and helping the team win four national premier league titles, three national cup titles as well as a bronze medal in the Euro Hockey League. Richard also captained the first team for three of these seasons. “The facilities at Reading, and the scholarship I received, played a key part in my sporting career and also helped set me up for life after elite sport."
