“For us, working In Richmond, which is also our home, is a delight. There is a real sense of community, trust and honesty. We deal a lot with sub- contractors, and other businesses, all local, and without whom our business would not survive. We now have a very strong team of professionals who support our business behind the scenes, and without whom we would not be able to operate. Everyone has to make a living, but there is definitely a sense of looking after each other, fairness and camaraderie.

Due to the nature of our business, we deal with not only local people, but those moving in from other parts of the country, and sometimes the world, we feel pleased for them that they have found Richmond, as we know that they will be happy here and looked after.”
