Chairman and founder Tony Ruddle commented "From a tiny beginning in 1996 with three staff, a rented office and a handful of clients we now employ 26 staff and have 1400 clients across a variety of business sectors.  Within the next six months we are expecting to have achieved client saving of £100m in business rates. In these difficult economic times our services are in increasing demand and we look forward to growing our business and employing more people in the coming years."

The expansion of Ruddle Merz is a remarkable story and it is wonderful to hear such a story of success in the gloom of recession."
