Bruce, his father James and Cousin Jack worked in the business for many years. They Loved working for the company they had built, and their customers and staff were like extended family.
Like most family companies the current management grew up helping in the warehouse collating orders, taking phone orders and doing deliveries after school and during school holiday, by packing the family cars with orders ( and later in life with their children too) Delivering across Sydney and often the family holiday was planned around sales calls and deliveries around NSW & QLD which helped to grow BPM Trading Company Pty Ltd into the business it is
today.
Our original fleet of vehicles were ex Post Office Vans Hand Painted with
our Company Name. We have come a long way since then to our current fleet of Trucks, Vans & Distribution Systems Shipping to our Customers Australia Wide & Internationally.
Our company over the last 60+ years has changed & grown with the market demands. From being a Major Distributor of Knitting Wool's, Zippers, Haberdashery and Paper Products throughout NSW to our current range of over 35,000 + Products Servicing Large Chains, High Volume Customers, Hospitality, Aged Care, Childcare, Retail & Industrial markets Australia Wide & Internationally.
Each Generation has introduced new product ranges to assist in offering our customers a greater range of products to make it easier for our customer to order from the one company, because time is money and who has the time to search the world for what you need, leave that up to us.
After Bruce passed away in the early 90s, his eldest son Robert carried on
the legacy he had built. At this same time there was a shift in the market and many Haberdashery shops across Australia were closing.
Robert made the decision to expand our current range of food packaging, paper & washroom products. The opening of Kimberly Clark in Australia helped to increase our range of washroom supplies. We significantly expanded our Disposable Food Packaging range by collaborating with Local & Multinational Manufacturers, offering a wider selection of innovative packaging options.
We are now one of the 1st and oldest interdependent distributor of Kimberly Clark Australia's Full range of products (Kleenex, Scott, WypAll, Viva, Huggies, Depend & Poise) Winning many Distributor Awards over the years.
In the early 90's BPM Trading Company Pty Ltd also purchased Polycane Sales a Company Owned & Founded by Carl Toovey (Roberts Father In law) This combined our two family businesses which meant our customers now had access to
Rehabilitation Equipment, Outdoor Furniture, Shade Structures & Material as well as Hospitality Furniture, Cleaning Trolley's, Catering Trolley's & Medical Trolley's.
After moving 5 times over the years from North Sydney, Manly, Dee Why and Cromer in 2013 with the 5th Generation soon to be born we purchased our Custom Fitted Warehouse here in Brookvale. The acquisition of our Large Warehouse provided the additional space we desperately needed. Our warehouse is always a buzz with daily deliveries from manufacturers and the continuous flow of orders being packed for our wonderful customers.
