Our Managing Director and Owner Glenn Rowland shares his thoughts on this amazing achievement: “In the beginning God created man, then he created RDS. One thing was for certain this industry was in my blood, my father had successfully managed Bolton Gate Company for many years, and during that time many family members had successfully created their own prospects doing the same; some of them right through to retirement which proves that once you’re in the chances are you’re in for good, we didn’t see this at the time but it is something I’m sure you all feel at some point. For me my role model was my father, I watched him for many years dedicate 100% of his life to ‘the empire’ even well beyond his retirement age. His passion was his work, even at his ripe old age he would want to come to work with me just to keep his hand in and to keep himself moving but sadly age got the better of him this was not always possible but always enquired about the business which spurred me on even more. My mother was my grounding person, she ensured that my feet stayed firmly on the ground as long as she could, I was very lucky to have had these people in my life, and I still believe their watchful eyes are still watching over me every step of the way. “ ” 2023 marks our 40th anniversary of trading, a milestone that as you would imagine we are really proud of.
