This is now my 18th year at Bondline, the business has expanded and grown to keep up with demand. Moving premises in 2015 really was the best risk ever made, which tripled warehouse space so we could import and bulk buy. We feel this really gives us an edge on our competition.
There was a very small demand for ESD products in the early days of Bondline which is now the soul of the business. The reason we have made it to 40 years has been down to the loyal great team of staff who have created a Bondline family over the years. The business has now grown from strength to strength with key focus on quality, maintaining stock levels and honest relationships with our long-term suppliers and customers.
We are a small team behind the blue and yellow colours of the business, we make a mistake, we solve it. You telephone our office, we answer the call. We have always strived to communicate as quickly and effectively as we can, we offer free knowledgeable advice and guidance if you need our help on any ESD question. This really does give us the edge on the expanding competition.
Our goals haven’t changed since the birth of Bondline. We strive to offer high quality products at competitive prices, sustain ‘people’ relationships, offer quick and trustworthy service, with continuous research and development of our customers needs.
We hope these goals remain for the next 40 years! Thank you to all our loyal customers over the last 4 decades.
Here are some reflections from the people who’ve helped build Bondline over the years.
As we celebrate 40 years of Bondline, we’re proud to spotlight the people who’ve shaped our journey. These quotes capture the dedication, experience and everyday moments that define who we are as a team.
“I could easily write a book telling how Bondline started. But I don’t want to bore anyone! The continued growth of Bondline is down mainly to continued hard work and there are two other main reasons. We always had the very best, high quality products and the very best loyal hardworking staff. Saying that, we have the best products because we have the best, long term, loyal, innovative, trustworthy, forward thinking, helpful suppliers. They are not only easy to come by and not easy to find! Our relationships with our suppliers is as strong, if not stronger, than our relationships with our loyal customers. Many of our suppliers have been working with us for more than thirty years with many personal relationships being formed. We have always had the best staff because, I believe, we have treated everyone very, very well, almost like a family, and I hope the staff would agree? Many, many, many members of staff, old and current, have worked for Bondline for more than twenty years which means a lot. The recent growth, since I have “stepped back” from the “day to day” running of the business, has been beyond all my expectations that I hope this growth continues for many years to come. This, again, is mainly due to offering only the highest quality products and having the best, loyal, trustworthy staff throughout the whole of the company.“
Chris Blizzard, Founder of Bondline
“This is now my 18th year at Bondline, starting as the part time office junior, I am proud of the companies growth and success. Bondline initially was born from my nan’s spare bedroom. Many may not know the name BONDLINE came from my Dad’s idea of supply a line of consumables to the wire ‘BOND’ing industries. There was a very small demand for ESD products in the early days of Bondline which is now the soul of the business. We have been very lucky to have such a great team of staff, excellent long term suppliers and thank you to all our loyal customers over the last 4 decades.“
Victoria Blizzard, Managing Director
“It has been a pleasure to be part of the improvement and growth at Bondline over the past 20 years of working here. Seeing the expansion of our product lines and welcoming so many talented new members of staff has been incredibly rewarding. I’m proud of what we’ve built together. While the products and the premises have changed, the heart of this company, the people, remains its greatest strength. Thank you to everyone, past and present, who has made these last 20 years an unforgettable journey and I look forward to seeing the next chapter of the Bondline story unfold.“
Darren Buckett, Sales Director
“This is my 12th year working for Bondline as a Sales Co-ordinator. It’s so nice to part of a small and friendly team. I think probably why I’ve stayed so long!”
Kim O’Connor, Sales Co-Ordinator
“This year marks my seventh year at Bondline as a Marketing Executive. I first joined in 2019 as a Digital Marketing Apprentice, where I learned the skills that shaped my career and helped me grow into the role I’m in today. One of the things I love most about working at Bondline is the small, friendly, supportive team, and of course seeing Mollie dog in the office always brightens my day! Something I enjoy is being able to use my creativity to help shape Bondline’s online presence – whether that’s creating videos on my phone or designing visual pieces. Bondline has given me the space to grow and develop my skills and I’m proud of how far I’ve come since those early apprentice days.”
Chloé Warlow, Marketing Executive
