Ballheimer strengthens Bristol’s team

Bristol Uniforms, a global leader in the design and manufacture of firefighter PPE, has appointed Richard Ballheimer to the role of Compliance Manager.
Richard’s appointment comes as a result of Bristol’s significant business expansion and will further strengthen its experienced and highly skilled management team.

In addition, he will ensure Bristol continues to conform to management and system standards and will work closely with Bristol’s Technical Manager, Ivan Rich, to ensure Bristol remains fully compliant with national and international standards and product certification processes.

Ian Mitchell, Joint Managing Director of Bristol Uniforms, is delighted to have Richard on board. Speaking from the company’s head office in Bristol he said:
