At BMI, we are proud to be a people-focused business, recognising that our success is a direct result of the talent and passion of our teams. Last week, we celebrated the global winners of our inaugural recognition programme with a special event in Portugal. Thirty four winners from across our global locations and their guests were joined by our Executive Leadership Team to celebrate their achievements and contributions. Their nominations are a direct reflection of our commitment to our vision: to be the best roofing and waterproofing company in the world. The event in the Algarve provided a valuable opportunity for our winners and leadership team to connect, collaborate, and celebrate a shared success. Many congratulations to all of our winners! #BuildingNewHorizons

BMI is Building New Horizons within roofing and waterproofing helping to create tangible and positive impacts within the communities we live and work within. Last week, the team at the BMI HQ in Reading demonstrated this by hosting its first community park clean up. 29 members of staff enthusiastically took up the role of volunteer, and together collected over 30 bags of litter from the local community green space. There was a big sense of community and pride after seeing the impact made on a beautiful green space in the heart of Reading. We are so proud of the team’s commitment. Thank you to all our volunteers!

Fantastic support from Standard Industries co-CEO David Winter at a recent visit to our Villaluenga plant in Spain.
Last week, Standard Industries co-CEO David Winter and BMI Group CEO Thomas Casparie held a town hall with employees at BMI’s plant in Villaluenga, Spain. Located in the Toledo region, known for its long history of clay ceramics and pottery production, this plant manufactures roofing tiles from clay that is mined and processed onsite. It also serves as the headquarters for BMI’s Iberia region, which employs nearly 450 people. #BMIGroup
