Graham Bultitude, Founder & Managing Director of BBL Batteries comments: “BBL Batteries, formally known as Bristol Batteries, was founded in 1972 with the intention of supplying premium quality batteries and associated products across a wide range of sectors. Fifty years later, BBL Batteries is still going from strength to strength which I put down to the fact that we have always stuck to our core principles: premium quality products, superior customer service and providing fantastic value. BBL is increasingly focused on the development, introduction and distribution of new and improved battery technologies into today’s market, so as a truly independent battery business we can always offer the very best solution to our customers. When combined with fifty years’ experience and a keen eye on the future we believe what we offer is truly unique.”
The journey began on the 4th September in 1972 by Graham and Jacqualine Bultitude. Their first premises was located in Backfields, St Pauls in Bristol. The demand for premium quality batteries and associated products, exceptional value and BBL’s legendary service excellence meant that it wasn’t long before the company outgrew the Backfields premises. A much larger premises, located in Newfoundland Road provided the solution. 50 years and two moves later BBL have a network of 5 branches covering the Southwest, with their Head Office still situated in central Bristol.
A core strength and one of the secrets to their success are the BBL Batteries staff, many of whom have worked for the company for decades! Jacqualine Bultitude, Founder & Director cites their staff as the key to their success “Our professional team, both at a senior level and across all our branches are true battery experts and take great pride in working with our customers to solve their ‘power’ issues. Having worked on the front line of the Battery Industry for many years, their experience is unrivalled and their technical knowledge unsurpassed.”
