My journey began in 2009, I was at a career crossroads and in discussion with a company specialising in fire safety; however, I had doubts as to whether it would be the right fit for me.  An interview invite for Astore appeared (situated a mere 5-minute walk from my house at the time, perfect!) So,…

STAND L14 We would like to invite you to come along to stand L14 and meet with the team to discuss your chemical pipeline projects & requirements. We will be…

Day 14 – Land’s End to John O’Groates – DONE!  (19/08/23)   Day 14 delivered truly terrible weather and certainly the worst we had ever ridden in. If at home, you would not even venture outside to put the rubbish bins out. The combination of rain and wind made it feel like we were in…

Day 13 – The unplanned longest leg (18/08/23)   Today’s leg of this epic ride was tough to say the least.   Storm Betty really had it in for us. Our Day 13 leg should have been 77 miles from Invergordon to Betty Hill, followed by a planned 50 mile final leg on Day 14…

Day 12 – The Loch Ness Monster (17/08/23)   There is only 189 miles left.   We set off from Fort Augustus with the type of weather we could only dream of! We have been so lucky.                         The climbing from Fort Augustus starts…

Day 11 – The awe inspiring Highlands (16/08/23)   Today was another awesome day and another day closer.   The Highlands are just awe inspiring and amazing, I feel like I’ve just taken a job with the UK tourist board!!                           We started…

Day 10 – Loch Lomond & The Trossachs (15/08/23)   And so we are on day 10 and, with only 4 more days to go, we are nearly there!   Today’s 75 mile leg took us from Hamilton, around and out of Glasgow along the River Clyde – past the Big Bike, along the banks…

Day 9 – A real Bone-Shaker (14/08/23) Well it would be fair to say that after yesterday’s long, hilly leg, today we were all a little fatigued……. so it was a pleasure to have a flatish route with only one real significant climb; but a climb which was amazing!     Once again some of…

Day 8 – Around The Lake District & into Scotland (13/08/23) Today marked the day we crossed over the border into Scotland. The day started with the weather not on our side which was unfortunate as this was to be the longest leg of the challenge – nearly 90 miles. The upside is that those…

Day 7 – Half Way There – living on a prayer! (12/08/23) We left Leigh with the weather grey but dry; we know we are likely to get wet at some point today.   The day’s journey threads between Bolton & Horwich, directly through Ryal Fold (for the first Tea Stop), around Blackburn, into Slaidbank…

Day 6 – Sunshine & Smiles (11/08/23) Leaving Shrewsbury we again had the fortune of beautiful, lovely, sunny weather. The day’s route to Leigh, just to the West of Manchester, took us briefly in-and-out of Clwyd – Wales and up through Cheshire and into Lancashire.                    …

Day 5 – The Beautiful UK (10/08/23) So once again we were blessed with wonderful weather and the day’s route took us through some really nice scenery; it’s a great way to see and appreciate beautiful parts of the UK away from Motorways and main roads. Yesterday we crossed the Severn Bridge and rode through…

Day 4 – Gorges, Bridges & Rivers (09/08/23) Beautiful weather; a much sunnier start to the day.   7 miles in and we have the mighty Cheddar Gorge; a beautiful looking piece of landscape.         We happened to bump into a crew taking pictures for the new kit to be launched by…

Day 3 – Kelly wears ‘The Jersey’ (08/08/23) So day three started a little grey with the weather not as good as we might have hoped. One major climb in the middle of the day, just before lunch, really took it out of us, but it was only one of three climbs so you would…

Day 2 – Roads, Ferries & ‘A Brew in Looe’ (07/08/23) Well they said today was going to be tough and they did not lie.   Unfortunately we started off the day with a mechanical issue which meant that Kelly had to be transferred to one of the spare bikes; this is not ideal as…

Day 1 – .ST. Michael’s Mount and a nice cup of Tea (07/08/23) ….and we’re off!!!!   Day one went really well. If the first day of a 14 day adventure could be scripted then this was it. The weather was amazing with a light wind, blue sky and sunshine.            …

The NEW GF FlowtraMag Meter is a full-bore plastic ‘in-line’ style magnetic flow meter.

The new ‘one-weld’ transition fittings are an exciting innovative introduction to the Durapipe PLX fuel pipework range.

GF+ piping systems have launched their new 565 Butterfly valve, a brand new highly reliable, cost effective all plastic valve, designed specifically for water treatment applications.

A classic example of B&D’s technical assistance adding tangible value to an end-user was in evidence as we were presented with a challenge to replace some valves by one of our water utility customers.

The B&D team were recently tasked with urgently supplying a batch of plastic valves for the flow control requirements of a new vaccine production centre.

We are delighted to announce the acquisition of RB Plastics which is now integrated into the wider B&D Plastics business structure.
