\n It was founded during the pandemic and is growing across the county at a time when many businesses are struggling.\n<\/p>\n
\n “I think our affordability and accessibility have allowed us to grow,” said Ross Ratcliffe, who founded the business and employs his brother and other family members.\n<\/p>\n
\n “We started out in the middle of Covid I was just hoping to make a living then, but it’s gone really well and we’ve managed to expand quickly.\n<\/p>\n

\n “I was on six-month contracts working for a consortium prior to the pandemic, and when it came, the work dried up.\n<\/p>\n
\n “So I thought to myself, it’s time to do something for yourself. Thankfully, it’s worked out really well.”\n<\/p>\n
\n Mr Ratcliffe’s Dereham business will be moving to Quebec Street in the town. He is also looking to open workspaces in both Norwich and Acle in the near future.\n<\/p>\n
\n “I’m very proud of how much we have been able to expand the business and how many families we have been able to serve,” he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It was founded during the pandemic and is growing across the county at a time when many businesses…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":298637,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[138,246,111,139,69,244,245],"class_list":["post-298636","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-personal-finance","tag-business","tag-finance","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-personal-finance","tag-personalfinance"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/298636","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=298636"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/298636\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/298637"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=298636"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=298636"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=298636"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
