Last week we celebrated the 10th anniversary of RDP Accountants opening our Martlesham Heath office. I had previously worked for a life and pensions insurance company in Colchester and then briefly on a freelance basis, for a credit risk insurer based in Canary Wharf.
As anyone who has their own business will know I have found it very rewarding to build up the business although of course it has its own challenges! I remember in the early days coming to terms with the fact there was no IT department to phone or office removals department to ask to move some furniture around. It’s DIY when you are running a small business!
In 2001 I was fortunate to find Mr John Moorby a chartered accountant with a small practice who was looking to retire. We came to an arrangement for John to pass over his clients to RDP and we moved into his office in Martlesham Heath.
It’s been great to get to know our clients , who now number around 250. Many surveys of business people show accountants to be their most trusted adviser and this is a role things brings a great sense of responsibility.
I am grateful to all who have helped us grow over the last 10 years. Richard & Derek from RDP Colchester and my staff past and present , Katy, Christine, Bev, Claire, Mandie, Isaac and Nicola.
We look forward to the next 10 years!
