“We created the appliance installation business model … and we’re shaping its future
Why does DBD’s history matter?
- You need a robust, secure, experienced supplier who’s not “here today and gone tomorrow”.
- When the Buncefield Oil Terminal nearly flattened our Hemel HQ we were up and trading within 2-working days!
- Our investment in our people and equipment, and our innovation in systems and processes means we’re here for the long-term.
