The youngest of Dearson’s Directors, Richard brings a youthful enthusiasm to the company. With a focus on achieving sustained growth for the company, he is continually looking at ways to meet the demands of the marketplace, to ensure that Dearson is able to deliver unrivalled value to new and existing customers.

Richard started on the shop floor with Dearson 17 years ago and quickly gained a deep understanding of the marketplace, which he now applies through his business development activities, focusing on sales, marketing and researching new products, markets and opportunities. A keen networker and regular attendee at trade exhibitions, Richard understands the value in building business relationships based on trust and generating leads from other business owners in the area.

Richard is heavily involved in IT and new technology and is the driving force behind Dearson’s focus on Project Management, Consultancy and the use of cutting edge technology to deliver increased quality and value.

As for vision, Richard explains, “At the moment, Dearson is proud to be a leading Midlands subcontractor. In the foreseeable future, I am confident that Dearson will be internationally recognised as a key supplier of high quality solutions and will be developing and manufacturing tools within the Dearson brand, becoming a national contractor in our own right.”
