RADECARL - THE STORY OF THE BUSINESS

This year we are proud to celebrate 17 years of Radecarl. To mark the occasion, we wanted to share with you the story of the business and how it got to where it is today…

Where it all began…

The business was founded in 2005 by the 3 partners: Tony Lamorte, Robin Kinrade and Paul Lamorte, who were all in full-time employment at the time.

They began by buying and selling properties, which was going well until 2008, when the financial crash happened and the properties were devalued by 25% overnight.

They soon realised that they had to think of other ways to make money so they started a maintenance business focusing on commercial/industrial buildings as this is where their main expertise lay.

By 2010, they had created over 12 month’s worth of business alongside their usual day jobs so it reached a stage where someone needed to quit their job and focus solely on taking Radecarl further.

It was then that Tony took the lead and handed in his notice to his employer so he could concentrate on growing the business full time. This allowed the other guys to follow suit shortly after.

In 2011, Robin set up a cleaning business alongside Radecarl Ltd which grew the business to a 2 million pound company in the space of 6 years. In the same year, Paul joined Radecarl Ltd full time alongside Tony’s son, Daniel.

And now…

The business forecast now has a turnover of 2 million pounds on maintenance works alongside property investment.

We have built up a wide range of projects under our belt over the years carrying out commercial, industrial and domestic services for clients such as Principality Stadium and Swalec Stadium. We are also proud to be sponsors of Glamorgan Cricket and The Machen Show year after year and thoroughly enjoy being able to support local where we can.

Like in all businesses there has been its challenges. We are glad to have got through them and for this we must thank our loyal workforce as well as our ongoing customer base for this continued growth. Long may it continue…
