Celebrating 50 Years of Excellence at Bemco Works

Last week, Bemco’s Works division in Rutherglen, Glasgow, celebrated foreman David Murphy’s remarkable 50th anniversary. We had the opportunity to visit the manufacturing facility, capturing the stories that have shaped David and his team’s journey.

A Legacy of Quality and Innovation

For over five decades, Bemco Works has been synonymous with quality and innovation in the UK’s utility sector. Our commitment to collaborative partnerships with customers and suppliers has driven the development of a product range that sets the industry standard. This dedication translates to exceptional quality, reliable service, and tangible value for our customers, building trust and confidence that stands the test of time.

Metering of the Highest Standards

Beyond distribution boards, Bemco is a recognised leader in the manufacture and supply of Metering Panels, rigorously compliant with Elexon/BSC Codes of Practice 2, 3, and 5.

David Murphy’s dedication to Bemco is evident not only in his 50 years of service but also in his commitment to training the next generation of skilled workers. Last year, he welcomed three new apprentices into the division, echoing his own journey as an apprentice when he first joined the company. This focus on mentorship and skills development ensures that Bemco’s legacy of excellence will continue for years to come.
