Co-Founders of risual awarded Ones to Watch

We are extremely pleased to announce Co-Founders of risual Alun Rogers and Richard Proud have been awarded Ones to Watch by LDC Backing Ambition!

The Ones to Watch category showcases the dynamic and ambitions leaders behind tomorrow’s mid-sized firms. Alun Rogers and Richard Proud have both been recognised for growing an innovative and resilient business and making a big impact on its client base and target markets.

LDC Backing Ambition said “Our third annual search for the Top 50 began shortly before COVID-19 struck the UK; it was uncertain whether the awards could – or should – go ahead. But, once again, the sheer number and calibre of the leaders nominated confirmed that British ambition is alive and well. We received an incredible 350 nominations, and it’s never been more difficult to choose just 50.”

Co-Founder and Director at risual Alun Rogers is also Chairmen of the Stoke-On-Trent and Staffordshire Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP). Alun dedicates a huge portion of his life to help further develop the Stoke and Staffordshire area. Working hard to create bigger and better job opportunities and a better way of life for the communities. Alun is passionate about the local area and businesses and since becoming Chairmen of the Stoke and Staffordshire LEP has been part of securing £23million from the government’s Getting Building Fund to boost projects to grow skills, jobs, and businesses.

Co-Founder and Director Richard Proud and Alun Rogers have also recently registered the risual Foundation as a charity in England and Wales: number 1191537. risual Foundation aims to give back to people, communities, and businesses where it possibly can. In July 2020, it launched a Careers Club, aimed at using risual employee knowledge and experience to play a part in helping get people back into work. Richard Proud said “We set out at the start of the year to set up and establish an initiative which could make a positive impact, not just here in Staffordshire where we are based, but hopefully across a wider region.”  

We are delighted that the commitment Alun Rogers and Richard Proud have dedicated to risual and the local area has been recognised by LDC Backing Ambition. Congratulations to both for winning a place in the Top 50 Ones to Watch category.
