Thanks to everyone who popped along to Friday’s social, in true British summer style it wasn’t quite BBQ weather but it did at least stay dry – and we had good food and music!
Next social for your diaries will be Saturday 15th September – more details to follow.
Congratulations to Tim Young who passed his full artic (C+E) category licence today, after training with Burcombe support. Well done Tim!
It was a warm morning for the annual health and safety training session in the Burcombe yard at the weekend. Groups of drivers attended refresher workshops on tipper, sweeper and mixer maintenance and updates, company news and annual checks, as well as a fire safety demonstration by Phoenix Fire Consultancy.
The morning was fuelled by Helluva pasties and was a successful and beneficial morning for all!
Burcombe Haulage have been successful in obtaining additional accreditations in health and safety. Completing the Contractor and Non-Construction SMAS SSIP accreditation for 2018/19 as well as the health and safety accreditation for the CQMS Safety Scheme, puts the company not only up to date with regulations but also enables the opportunity for further tender contracts in future.
After being on display at The Royal Cornwall Show two weeks ago, the six wheeler Callycombe Aggregates got down to business today – first day on the road and working out of Callywith Quarry.
It was another great Royal Cornwall Show with the sun shining for most of the weekend and our vehicles both on display and working at the Wadebridge Showground.
Burcombe Mercedes, Isuzu and Volvos were all on show on their respective stands while the sweeper was there at the end of each day working to get the site looking clean for next day visitors.
With thousands of visitors and so much to see among the livestock, stalls and displays, Burcombe are delighted to once again be involved with Cornwall’s biggest yearly event.
The Royal Cornwall Show starts today and runs until Saturday. If you’re heading down, see if you can spot our four Burcombe lorries on display around the showground.
We’ve recently got ourselves on Twitter and Instagram, so give us a follow – BurcombeHaulage – and we’ll have plenty of pictures from the Show tomorrow!
Burcombe Haulage are delighted to announce acquisition of Callywith Quarry in Bodmin and the unveiling of Callycombe Aggregates Ltd.
Callycombe will compliment Burcombe’s construction sector and tippers, providing trade and private customers with quality cut or crushed natural Cornish stone for house building, masonry walling, Cornish hedging, general and decorative aggregate.
We are excited for the future and see this as a positive move and benefit to the continued success of both Burcombe and Callywith Quarry.
Keep an eye out for our new Callycombe website soon. We are pleased to introduce Zoe Harris as the Quarry Manager, Zoe can be contacted on the normal quarry number of 01208 72029 or info@callycombeaggregates.co.uk
Burcombe are proud to sponsor St Mellion’s new Boot Camp classes, providing a container full of various sandbag weights, truck and tractor tyres, battle ropes and sledgehammers for their popular outdoor training sessions.
Burcombe’s very own Carina, Nic and new company recruit Helen Manley took on a very hot Plymouth Half Marathon at the weekend, raising money for 10 charities as part of Caradon Hockey Club’s 10-4-10 charity campaign this year.
The Caradon team have raised almost £1,500 with offline cash amounts still to be counted.
There is still chance to sponsor them at Team Caradon – Plymouth Half Marathon
