In the year the firm marked its 25th anniversary, the Cheshire-based BDL team has continued to go from strength to strength while serving hundreds of clients across a plethora of industries including food and drink, household goods, pharmaceuticals, chemicals and electrical motors.

Significantly, as a trusted MRO supplier, 2023 saw BDL secure exclusive nationwide distributorship for an industry-leading product – CeramicSpeed Insulate ball bearings. BDL has introduced to the UK the latest technology in operational efficiency, allowing customers day-to-day direct access to strong, durable and longer-lasting bearings. With the supply of CeramicSpeed bearings, the firm has saved its clients in excess of a million pounds over the year.
