RGP was founded in 1996 as a division of Deloitte & Touche. Our leaders are proud of our Big Four heritage, but they envisioned a different kind of consulting firm. So in 1999, Executive Chairman Don Murray followed his vision and led a management buyout.

We went public in December of 2000 and since then have grown into a global consulting firm providing strategy and execution for some of the world's largest, best-known businesses.Our founders instilled RGP with a tradition of service and professionalism. But there are significant differences between RGP and old-model consulting firms.

We did away with the conventional pyramid structure, opting instead to deliver services through accomplished professionals. Our leaders encourage teamwork and a total commitment to our clients' goals. The values established by our founders are still our values today. We are client-centric and problem focused. We have a passion for what we do. We value talent, integrity, enthusiasm, and loyalty. We are multinational and multicultural. We help clients succeed where they do business.

Those of us behind the Mostly British Film Festival have been busy putting together the 2017 festival. But we're not 100 percent there - we still need celebrity appearances and an opening night film as well as centerpieces - but we have enough to hopefully whet your appetite and persuade you to buy a series pass at a special discounted rate of $125, including all parties and special programs (which will cost extra if you wait to buy individual tickets).
