RICHARD GETS THEM COUNTING

ACCOUNTANTS by their very nature don’t like surprises. Richard Croaker, newly crowned partner at national accounting firm Hall Chadwick, does however like surprising others. Last Friday he hosted a lunch for clients at Nero Dining in Broadbeach Waters with guest speakers attending. The guests probably thought they were in line for a salad sandwich and a glass of water but not so. Richard, with mine hosts Andrew and Jayden Barker, had organised a degustation menu of nine (count them) courses with matching wines. It looks like the long Friday lunch is back baby!
