Cllr Paul Bidwell, said: “It was a pleasure to meet with Michael and to welcome Richfords Fire and Flood to Bracknell. Having businesses expanding in Bracknell Forest continues to strengthen our local economy and is key to the delivery of our economic strategy. "One of the reasons they chose to reinvest here is the fantastic connectivity that Bracknell offers, with easy access to the M3 and M4 motorways and good local road network. They are a great addition to the Bracknell business community and are looking forward to also working with other companies in the Bracknell Business Improvement District. Wishing Richfords Fire and Flood all the very best for their future in Bracknell Forest.” Are you a Bracknell Forest business? We would love to hear from you and what you are doing.
