Richard Place Dobson (RPD), Crawley based Chartered Accountants, and Business Advisors sponsored the inaugural event of Diamond Alumni. This prestigious new members club is exclusive to Gatwick Diamond Business award winners, sponsors and partners.

To mark the opening on the 1st of October, local businesses from Gatwick, Crawley and surrounding areas gathered together at The Grand Hotel in Brighton to launch Diamond Alumni with a lunch and networking event, whilst also looking ahead to the return of the awards for 2022.

Matthew Tyson, Managing Director at RPD, was given the opportunity to introduce keynote speaker Lara Morgan, British Entrepreneur, Investor and Inspirational Leader, at the event. Matt said: “RPD was pleased to sponsor and support the first Diamond Alumni event, and it was a privilege to introduce Lara Morgan, who gave a motivating and inspiring speech.”

RPD are a long-standing member of the Gatwick Diamond Business community, and it’s allowed them to meet lots of like-minded and positive people. Many of the connections that RPD uses today, either for their own business or for their clients, have been driven through GDB. Therefore, the Diamond Alumni will be a valuable extension of this community.

Matt said: “I look forward to seeing what Diamond Alumni has in store for us as I’m sure they will provide many exciting networking events and exclusive opportunities for members.”
