testimonials

“I find it very beneficial to work with BMR. I work all over Britain and with one phone call to BMR my fuel, chemical or grass seed is delivered anywhere in the country at competitive prices the following day. This free up a lot of time trying to source local suppliers and lets me get on with the job in hand.”

Brian Keen, Forestry & Conservation Services

“I am constantly looking at lowering input costs of which drier gas is significant. Through BMR we changed our supplier and saved 10p/litre. The service was better than from our previous supplier and we saved over £800 in the first season.”
