The BBF Safety Group gathered at Summer Place, Sandton, to reward customers for their loyal support throughout the year.

Themed \u201call aboard\u201d, BBF\u2019s new conglomerate of customers were invited to dine, laugh, and be recognised for their contribution towards the industry.<\/p>\n

BBF Group\u2019s Executive Chairman, Wolfgang Beier welcomed guests, followed by Alan Fleetwood, BBF Safety Group\u2019s Managing Director who began by sharing the company\u2019s mantra of \u2018\u2018buy local, produce local, sell local and international\u2019. He continued with a summary of the last two years of business: \u201cCombining four competing companies together has been like climbing into a concrete mixer and pushing the on switch,\u201d said Fleetwood. \u201cThere have been things that did not go so well, but fortunately the positives outweigh the negatives. We\u2019ve created over 100 new jobs, saved many more, and diverted millions of Rands to local enterprise.
