Our Story

As a vision I wanted to create a company with a level playing field for all staff, regardless of gender, race or religion to carry out their work and achieve the best job satisfaction in the process.

I knew from the start that the key element of implementing my vision would be to train my management to avoid being over bearing or over managing and instead to create a calm clean healthy environment to bring out the best of our staff; only then we can give our customers the best service they deserve. I spend every working day trying to get as close to the perfect version of my vision.

”

This is the reason why I have always tried to live by the tag line I constructed for BDR from the outset; To tirelessly pursue excellence to the benefit of customers, staff and suppliers
