Bullard Company, a business specializing in loading access equipment, process piping, and contracting services, is proud to announce national certification as both a Women’s Business Enterprise (WBE) by WBENC and a Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) by NMSDC.
“These certifications are very important in business today, especially in our industry” says, Valerie Bullard, President of the Bullard Company. “For our customers, we envision supplier diversity as a business strategy that ensures a diverse base in the procurement of goods and services. A more diverse supplier base brings innovation and competition to the market place, allowing businesses to have great impact on the national economy. It helps grow small business, it helps create new jobs, and it has significate tax revenue benefits at the local, state, and federal levels. Bullard Company wants to help our customers AND build relationships that demonstrate commitment to the economic growth of all communities. Loading and unloading access equipment is a necessity in many industries. Our certifications allow our customers to not only procure safe, rigid, and quality products; but, also allows our customers to have confidence that they are investing in a company that is representative of the shifting demographics in our country.”
Both WBENC’s and NMSDC’s national standards of certification are meticulous processes that include an in-depth review of the business and site inspections. The certification processes for both organizations are designed to confirm the business is owned, operated, and controlled by a minority woman.
By including both women-owned businesses and minority-owned businesses among their suppliers, corporations and government agencies demonstrate their commitments to fostering diversity.
