    A Father-Son Duo at Binder

    In this edition of our ‘Meet the Team’ blog, we introduce Josh and Jonathan (JB) Bloomfield—a father and son duo who both play key roles at Binder. Josh, who joined the team 6 months ago as an Operator Assistant, is still relatively new to the company, while JB brings a wealth of experience with 8 years as a Tanker Driver. Despite the differences in their roles, the bond they share at work and at home is evident.

    Name: Josh Bloomfield
    Job role: Operator Assistant
    How long have you worked at Binder? 6 months

    What’s a typical day at Binder for you?
    I spend most of my day out on the road in the artic lorry, assisting clients with jobs that need my skills. The role is high-volume, so there’s always something happening, whether I’m helping to load or ensuring everything is running smoothly on-site. I don’t see my dad much during the day, but when I do, it’s usually just a quick wave across the yard. Occasionally, we’ll even be on the same job and end up sharing a vehicle.

    What’s your favourite part of your job?
    The variety of work and the constant challenge. No two days are the same, and I appreciate that about the role. The support from the team at Binder also makes it a great place to work.

    Name: Jonathan (JB) Bloomfield
    Job role: Tanker Driver
    How long have you worked at Binder? 8 years

    What’s a typical day at Binder for you?
    My day typically starts early as I head out on the road to complete jobs with the tanker. I travel between different locations, making sure everything runs efficiently, and I’m always on the move. It’s a lot of responsibility, but it’s rewarding to see the job done right. While I don’t see Josh often throughout the day, it’s nice when our paths cross, either for a quick chat or a shared job.

    What’s your favourite part of your job?
    The independence of being out on the road and managing my own schedule is something I really enjoy. It’s also rewarding to finish a job and know I’ve done it well, all while being part of a strong, supportive team.
