Greetings my name is Dornford Walker II,
I am the president and founder, welcome to I.R.D.I.
Business Group.
Working for California Tourism and International
Trade Commerce, specializing in Pacific Rim affairs, gave me an
acute understanding of the vital connections and importance international
markets have on both the United States and California economies as a whole.
Understanding that the strength of our economy depends on our ability
to penetrate and compete in international markets. I relocated to
Japan in 1997. Once there it was apparent United States and more
particularly California firms are vastly missing out on this tremendously
lucrative market. This was particularly true for small and mid-size
businesses that typically do not pose the know-how or the connections
to take advantage of such markets. With these issues as my focal
point in 1999 I.R.D.I. Business Group was started.
Our goal here at I.R.D.I. Business Group is to support industry
firms; producers, growers, and manufacturers. To allow them to proactively
engage with international markets. I also wanted to make sure that
costs for such support services were accessible for the smallest
of companies.
Here at I.R.D.I. Business Group our focus is not only to support
the industry core but also the individual. We do this by providing
Personal Income Tax Services
to make sure people are able to take advantage services to protect
their intrests and get the most out of their tax period.
With I.R.D.I. Business Group, Trade,
Customs Specialists,
Accountants, Translators,
Web Developers, Sales
Team Members and Legal Counsel we are able to manage and
safe guard every step at a micro level of control for our clents.
I.R.D.I. Business Group is America's "ONE STOP" international
trade, export management and personal business firm. Join us in
our quest to strengthen our economy, provide opportunities forindividuals,
enhance
our communities, and support the industries of California
and thus the United States.
Again welcome to I.R.D.I. Business Group
