History
Offering computer consulting services in Melbourne, Australia.
Ratcliff & Associates was started by David Ratcliff in Wantirna, Melbourne, on the 8th June 1976. Originally a one man outfit, focusing on custom systems development and follow up service, within 3 years RA had expanded to include a number of staff and wide variety of clients - many of who are still with the company today.

Originally a mechanical engineer, David became Victorian Apprentice of the year in 1965 and received a two year scholarship to work in England under David Brown at Aston Martin. During this period David spent time in the IT Department and quickly saw how computers could make complex processes simple. After returning to Australia, with his English bride, David spent a number of years working at various companies before starting RA. David remains chairman of RA and is involved on the company at a board level. |
