The work continues, and the business will support existing and future clients with Cat Ablitt and Nicola Butcher joining longstanding directors Phillippa Scarisbrick Miller and Brian Russell to lead RCP through its next exciting chapter.

Roger said: “I’ve spent 45 happy years running the business and am immensely proud to be able to leave it in such a strong position. I’m grateful to all of our clients past and present for trusting us to deliver the high quality results that we’ve become known for.

"The new management team of Phillippa, Brian, Cat and Nicola have a wealth of experience between them both within the business and externally, and I have no doubt that the business will continue to flourish.”
