BMS Turns 25 Years Old

In January 2019 BMS turned twenty-five years old and has come very far from its inception.

From starting by repairing Veeder-Root equipment for a few companies out of a small office at the bottom of Heathrow to employing specialist engineers to cover every part of the United Kingdom, we’d like to take you through our history and show how we got to where we are today!

1963

Future founder Brian Bigwood joins Veeder-Root as a model maker before being promoted 10 years later. VR then closes all UK offices in ’82.

1982

Brian joins forces with John Izzard and starts Bigwood Mechanical Services and becomes Veeder-Roots official Master European Distributor.

1994

Current MD Carl Bigwood joins (‘90) and a Service & Calibration division is created called Bulk Meter Services to run side by side.

2006

Bulk Meter Services becomes distributor for Total Control Systems (TCS) and follows with Varec in 2013, OCV in 2015 and Meggitt in 2017. Now We have built strong relationships in a massive range of industries and are trusted and relied upon by businesses across the globe.
