Border Food Machinery (BFM Group) is a family business which was founded in 1979 and has grown to become a market leader in the supply of the most popular equipment used by the catering world. We are a ‘One Stop Shop’ and specialise in advice, sales, design, project management, installation and after sales service. Whether it be a one off machine,
a fully designed and installed commercial kitchen or Air conditioning for work/home,
we are committed to provide value for money to suit your budget.
We are true specialists, completing all works to a high standard, giving you peace of mind.
Our in-house Catering, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers are fully trained to work on Electrical, Gas (Natural or LP including mobile catering) Refrigeration and Air Conditioning with accreditations from Gas Safe and REFCOM.
We do appreciate ‘price is important, but service is priceless’ –
this has been our company motto from day one and something we pride ourselves on!
What does ‘One Stop Shop’ mean? It simply means we can take the pressure off…as we cover everything! From supplying a single teapot, air conditioning installations for both work and home right up to to a fully designed and installed commercial kitchen to full compliance – we can also include wall coverings (be it Stainless Steel or Whiterock), catering grade flooring, ventilation to HVAC regulations and electrical/mechanical works – all under one roof.
Sales Team Our Sales Team has many years’ experience in ensuring that you buy the product that is right for you, tried, tested, and above all, reliable. We will not push a stock item just to move it on. It is this honest and straightforward approach that has gained us a loyal customer base who return time after time for straightforward advice and unbeatable value for money. We pride ourselves on not just ‘selling boxes’. With a simple phone-call to our office, a face to face chat in our showroom or on-site we can assist you from the very early stages of setting up your business or offering advice on any upgrades you may be looking at.
Office Team Our Office Team are also on hand to assist with any enquiries you may have and make sure your enquiry is directed to the relevant experienced personnel or department…no multiple options to press, or recorded messages, simply a friendly voice at the end of the phone!
