MESSAGE FROM OUR MAIN SPONSOR

WELCOME TO

Rapid Project Development is proud and privileged to support the 2021 Aberdeen Christmas Classic. As a local independent steel fabrication and construction company, specialising in all types of agricultural buildings and associated works, it is a great pleasure to be involved in such an important and significant event in the agricultural calendar.

The business was founded by Managing Director Paul Duxbury and later joined by his sons, John-Paul, Daniel and James. They are in charge of all the company’s projects with Paul taking a general overview; John-Paul looking after design, planning and sales; Daniel, steel fabrication and erection; and James the groundwork and concrete work. Their combined aim is to provide client satisfaction and value for money, the essential requirements needed to continue the success and growth of the business.

Many farmers, customers and friends, will know of us but for those who don’t, we provide a one-stop solution for all agricultural building requirements, looking after everything and endeavouring to help with problem solving with our clients. If required we can provide the

‘full package’ from the groundworks, manufacture and erection of the building, and internal fitting out.

It also helps that our sister company RPD Scotland is involved in arable and livestock farming.

This gives us a wealth of practical experience when it comes to advising on and providing buildings and services for our clients.

Looking forward to the Christmas Classic itself, we would like to thank all the entrants for their work and dedication in preparing for the event. Without this effort there would not be a Christmas Classic.

For those of you visiting, we hope you have an enjoyable time at Thainstone and we look forward to meeting and speaking with you over the two days.

Paul Duxbury Managing Director
