Suppliers from the East of England

Camfaud Concrete Pumps Ltd Training Date: August 2009

The London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games offers a wealth of opportunities for businesses, large and small, across the whole of the UK.

One company that is reaping the benefits is Camfaud Concrete Pumps Ltd a specialist in provider of liquid concrete pumps located near Epping in Essex.

Camfaud Concrete Pumps Ltd is a family owned and managed business that was set up in 1982 with just a single mobile concrete pump. The company has expanded steadily over the years and now operates one of the largest fleets of concrete pumps in the country. It employs over 50 members of staff and has an annual turnover of £8 million.

Camfaud Concrete Pumps Ltd has been awarded the contract for Wetlands concrete pumping. The contract is to provide concrete on site, primarily for the bridge structures, in areas where access is too difficult for traditional concrete delivery by mixer.

The contract was posted on the CompeteFor system, a brokerage service between buyers and potential suppliers. CompeteFor offers businesses the opportunity to find out about business opportunities for the London 2012 Games and provides access to business support services.

Brendan Murphy, Director for Camfaud Concrete Pumps Ltd said: "We were initially made aware of CompeteFor through a trade magazine and once investigated found the portal an ideal way to access available contracts."

"We found the CompeteFor website very accessible and user friendly and found publishing our details on the system relatively straight forward. Even though our service provision is quite specialist, we have already been able to respond to six relevant contracts within our first year published with CompeteFor."

"Working on the Olympic Park has not only opened up further opportunities for us but by being published on CompeteFor we are well positioned to benefit from similar contracts as and when they arise in the future."
