BSS, which distributes pipeline and heating solutions, has signed its biggest and most important contract to date with Aspire Defence Capital Works. BSS will be one of the main suppliers to a 9-year building programme that will provide 11 500 new and refurbished rooms for soldiers. The Aspire Defence Project also includes a 35-year facilities-management role. Frank Elkins, managing director of BSS, says, ‘We have been able to open a dedicated project office, trade counter and warehouse at Ward Barracks, Bulford, which we share with our sister company Plumbing Trade Supplies. ‘We have also signed an agreement with Corus Group, who manufacture and distribute metal products, to supply materials for the modular units which will form 144 accommodation blocks, so the project as a whole is the biggest we’ve ever won.’ The works will take place at Aldershot and sites around Salisbury Plain — Bulford, Tidworth, Perham Down, Larkhill and Warminster.
