Give us a brief overview of your business.

RDA are a multidisciplinary design and installation company, specialising in hospitality and catering design.


Headed up by brothers, Nick and Alex, RDA’s founding value of ‘family first’ is still relevant almost twenty years later. We see our team here at RDA as part of our extended family. And in turn, they carry that ethos into every client interaction.


When you work with us, we treat you as one of our own. We’ve got your back from our very first meeting, right through to final site handover. We’re with you every step.


The RDA team is made up of specialists in their field, bringing a breadth of experience and industry knowledge to every project. From inception to completion.


We offer our clients a suite of services, from ‘turnkey’ design & build to specialist kitchen, bar and back-of-house design, consultancy, interior design and equipment supply. And we help clients hand-pick the services they need to suit their project. We work across a variety of sectors, from hospitality to commercial kitchens, workspaces to stadia, hotels to retail and beyond.


Design that works.


Tell us about a recent business success.

Providing our expertise across a variety of the hotel’s food & beverage spaces, we undertook the design, supply and install of the hotel’s main kitchen and ancillary spaces, bar back and restaurant servery and back-of-house pantry.

How has being a Chamber member impacted your growth and networking opportunities?
