Bbi Announces Record Year
One of the UK's leading facilities support specialists, Beacons Business Interiors (Bbi), has continued its strong pattern of year-on-year growth with record turnover being recorded for the period to 31 May 2007.
The Brecon headquartered company, which was formed in 1989, saw turnover increase from £12 million to £16.5 million during 2006. The firm has put this 40 per cent increase down to a high level sales strategy of differentiation of brand, product, service and personnel that distinguishes Bbi from its competitors.
With plans to increase its turnover to £19m by 2008, Andy Graham, Bbi group CEO, said:
“This has been another successful year for Bbi and we have seen a real growth in the business. We have continued to grow in a controlled and profitable manner for the past seventeen years and are committed to building market share and developing brand recognition to be synonymous with the highest levels of quality and customer service.”
Over the past five years, Bbi has grown exponentially establishing its Leeds office in 2003 and its Gloucester office in 2004. The company now employs 64 staff and has diversified from its origins as an interior design and fit-out company into an organisation aiming to service all of the facilities support needs of organisations, including health and safety consultancy advice and mechanical and electrical design and fit-out.
Working with some of the UK's leading firms, including Zurich Financial Services and Lloyds TSB Asset Management both of which are still clients after 13 years, the company designs and implements facilities support solutions for organisations in a range of sectors including pharmaceuticals, education, government, leisure and commercial.
“Going forward, our strategy will be one of market penetration and market development. We intend to increase sales volume by looking for ways to increase our market share within our existing customer base and continue to move into new markets, identifying opportunities that can provide additional business. This strategy has served us very well in the past and is well supported by our current structure.
We have identified a clearly defined market place concentrating on corporate businesses across the UK and we have developed strong and loyal relationships with a number of blue chip companies. Continuing this strategy will allow the organisation to expand its activities for the foreseeable future, while it continues to improve and broaden its core services.”
