Welcome to our community! It is a pleasure to have you join us. A decade ago, I embarked on an exciting journey by founding Travis Richards Office shortly after completing my high school education. Despite facing skepticism due to a mild developmental delay, I proudly opened my doors on January 1st, 2014, and have since become an integral part of the Madawaska Valley community. My practice is anchored in essential pillars such as management services and community consulting. At TRO, I am honored to assist a diverse array of individuals, including tradespeople, small business owners, and government representatives. I strive to be more than just a business; i aim to be your reliable community administration office, where every individual is embraced and appreciated. My reception services are designed to cater to the entire community, ensuring accessibility for all. With over ten years of experience as a business broker and marketing expert, my commitment is to empower my clients to thrive. Located in the charming town of Barry’s Bay, where natural beauty meets cultural richness, I am are part of a dynamic community that values growth and inclusivity. At TRO, i prioritize building relationships and encouraging collaboration, as I believe that together we can accomplish extraordinary things. My active participation in local events and initiatives showcases my commitment to giving back to the community that has supported me over the years. Together, let us create a brighter future for all.
