Nestled in the heart of Christchurch, The Borough, formerly known as The Richmond Club, stands testament to resilience, innovation and community spirit.
Established in 1888, this iconic institution has been a cornerstone of the local community for over a century. In recent years, The Borough has had a remarkable transformation, with over $16 million invested in developing a new club.
A key player in that transformation has been Oxford Edge Director Belinda Canton. Belinda's accounting expertise in business and taxation and her dedication to client relationships have led to her playing a pivotal role over two decades in the club’s growth and success. Her advice has guided the club through routine operations as well as significant challenges such as negotiating its post-earthquake settlement.
For Richmond Club General Manager Jimmy Summerfield, Belinda is more than just an advisor; she is a trusted partner known for her approachable nature and ability to make complex financial information accessible to everyone. He describes her as “almost like one of the staff”, working closely with senior management to ensure the club's financial health and strategic direction. Jimmy says Belinda’s contribution goes above and beyond traditional accounting as she provides a sounding board for ideas at all times of the day and night.
The Oxford Edge team are proud that The Borough have been back-to-back winners of the People’s Choice Awards in the Hospitality Awards for Excellence in 2023 and 2024. As The Borough continues to evolve, the club remains committed to its core values of excellence, innovation, and community. With Belinda Canton and Oxford Edge by their side, the future looks bright for this historic institution.
