Sprinting for the tape

Article Abstract:

Accounting firm Rutherford Manson Dowds (RMD) was established in 1986 by 28-year old Colin Rutherford, together with college friends Graeme Manson and Cahal Dowds. Five years later, RMD is recognized as one of Scotland's fastest growing chartered accountancy (CA) firms, with more than 500 clients and a reported turnover exceeding three million sterling pounds, while Rutherford has become the youngest among all senior partners in the top Scottish CA firms, at the age of 32. RMD's success can be attributed to the hard work and determination to succeed of every member of the firm, especially senior partner Rutherford. He says that RMD's main goal is to become the most financially successful independent accounting firm in Scotland.

Article Abstract:

Corporate entertainment in the UK has grown into a 500 million pounds sterling industry. The benefits of corporate entertainment programs cannot be immediately quantified, but corporate entertainment provides an informal environment promoting face-to-face contact with clients and potential customers and business partners. Corporate entertainment can increase customer loyalty and provide an ideal environment for marketing new ideas. When engaging in corporate entertainment, the clients should be made to feel valued, which means that one should spend an adequate amount of money. Ideal environments for corporate entertainment include golf tournaments, football and rugby matches, and other sporting events.
