Expansion

We're getting ready to expand! No, we didn't eat too much at the local all-you-can eat seafood buffet (although it is delicious). We're getting ready to scale up Bridgeview and enter the next chapter of our business.

One of the ways we're getting ready for expansion is prepping the team and making sure the foundation is solid before we build on top of it. That means all our processes are in place, our team is trained up, our tools are ready, and materials are sourced. Our company runs smoothly now but if it didn't, and we tried to scale up in chaos, the chaos itself would simply grow.

We have team members becoming IPC certified. We have team members being cross-trained on machines and various hand tools. We are reaching out to different vendors to establish relationships with them and get the best prices for our customers. We're going to be revamping our website soon and updating our mission statement to better reflect our company culture.

All these things need to happen before expansion so that when growth does come, we're ready. Let's build something together!
