The firm has built a niche for itself in supplying Fire Suppression systems that protect crucial information for the Ministry of Defence, financial institutions and online shopping channels.
Backed by support from the Manufacturing Growth Programme (MGP), the company has seen turnover rise from £6.5 million to £9.2 million in 12 months, with its first export orders secured and bringing in an additional £1 million in revenue.
The growth has been achieved after the management team adopted a ‘Sirus Business Transformation’ process that focused on developing strategic relationships, building the brand and increasing market share in core sectors.
The firm employs 54 people at three sites in Dudley, Farnborough and Colne. In addition to new contracts to supply data centres, the company has also seen an increase in demand for its online fire training courses as a cost effective way for clients to deploy and track their fire safety and general health and safety training.
Graham Turner, whose father started the business in 1966, said: “We’ve had a really good few years, but the last 12 months have been beyond belief.
“By accessing the MGP, we were able to build an action plan on how we wanted to expand and this led to the introduction of Sirus’ David Keefe to talk to us about a transformation programme that would unlock our potential.”
MGP’s Helen Fortune added: “Bryland has enjoyed rapid expansion over the last twelve months, but this is just the start. Importantly, the management team has used external advice and guidance to lay the foundations for sustainable growth going forward and the possible creation of 20 new jobs.”
