Message From Peter Bowes

 

As we approach the end of 2021, we at Bridgman are looking forward to 2022 and the hope and prosperity that we anticipate for the beginning of each New Year.

I think it’s essential to thank all the team at Bridgman IBC for the exceptional effort and their hard work that has seen us succeed through this historic time within the UK & the World in general.

We must also acknowledge the dedication and support of all our supply partners, without whom we would not have been able to provide our services to our loyal customer base.

Brexit and Covid have taken their toll, and I offer my thoughts to those who have been affected, writing this it’s obvious to me that that basically means everyone, as I cannot recall anyone who hasn’t had some negative impact because of these challenges.

These challenges more recently have seen raw material prices and the costs of logistics rise at staggering speed and Bridgman are as affected as anybody in construction at this time. However, our suppliers and transport partners remain able to support us.

With the tragedy of Grenfell, we have seen a number of major construction companies requiring project specific fire testing and for Bridgman this has resulted in over six fire tests in 2021, showing our commitment and confidence in our teams’ abilities and our product to serve the industry and our clients.

To add to our successes, we have retained our FSC, PEFC, Q Mark, ISO14001 & 9001 accreditation and are now striving towards our sustainability goal of reaching net zero.

We move forward with confidence and belief in ourselves and the knowledge that we bring with us our fantastic team, suppliers that excel, all with the goal of providing our loyal customers and clients a service that they expect and that we are proud of.

 

Wishing you a Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year.
