bott help with transportation for local sea pool charity

Having previously collected and delivered some repaired hand rails in 2018, the bott logistics team were more than happy to dive in again and transport the new fence panels back to Bude Sea Pool.

Built to last

Although constructed nearly 100 years ago, Bude Sea Pool continues to provide an essential, safe and unique swimming experience for the people of Bude. Built under the curve of the cliffs in a conservation area, the semi-natural pool protects swimmers from the extreme weather effects and tides of the Atlantic Ocean. Today, the amenity is managed and preserved by a local charity, the Friends of Bude Sea Pool (FoBSP), who rely on the support of friends, donors and local Business Sponsors, to keep it open and safe for all.

Bespoke metalwork

As part of the annual draining and refurbishment, FoBSP commissioned some new railings for the pool - designed to protect the many thousands of visitors from the occasional rock fall. Fabricated by Stainless Studio, the bespoke metalwork creates a cage effect for rocks to fall into, protecting anyone using the terraces below.

Having previously collected and delivered some repaired hand rails in 2018, the bott logistics team were more than happy to dive in again and transport the new fence panels back to Bude. With the benefit of having our own delivery fleet for customers all across the UK, we were able to effectively plan the pick-up using one of our Scania R-series vehicles. Driver Jason Yearby, collected the consignment from the West Midlands, then offloaded at Summerleaze Beach - ready for installation on 14th May.

Paul Tilzey, Chair (FoBSP) said: “Many thanks to bott for collecting and dropping off the items, we greatly appreciate your help!”

We’re proud to have supported the Friends of Bude Sea Pool and their drive in improving the pool for the local community. We look forward to the safe re-opening, ready for the busy summer season!
