Birstall-based manufacturer, James Bedford & Co Ltd are currently constructing a 4,000 sq ft warehouse facility which will provide the firm with much needed extra space to accommodate its continued expansion and growth (turnover has more than doubled in the past five years) and the business is on target to become one of the leading manufacturers and suppliers of workbenches and hazardous storage cabinets in the UK. James Bedford’s, marketing manager Neil Emmott explained: “Over the past few years our feet have not touched the floor. We have moved to new 25,000 sq ft premises, purchased state-of-the-art machinery, achieved the ISO Quality Standard and won valuable new contracts.”
The family owned business currently employs 35 people and its key product range includes industrial workshop equipment (including workbenches, cabinets, trolleys and toolboxes). A bespoke service is also available to customers.
James Bedford has also built up a strong relationship with industrial mail order companies and other resellers, supplying the likes of Bentley Motor Cars, DHL and The Ministry of Defence.
Neil added: “Like many British manufacturers we are facing increasing competition from overseas (particularly Eastern Europe and China). However, providing customers with outstanding quality, value for money and exceptional service has proved to be the cornerstone to our success.
“Our new warehouse facility is an essential component to us achieving our ambitious plans for the future. It will give us the valuable extra capacity needed to ensure that we hold our best selling line in stock and can turn customers’ orders around quickly and efficiently.”
