    A Blooming Success at the 2025 Suffolk Show

    We were delighted to attend this year’s Suffolk Show on Wednesday 28th and Thursday 29th May. It’s always a key date in Suffolk’s rural calendar and a fantastic opportunity to connect with clients, catch up with familiar faces, and meet new people across the agricultural and business community.

    We’re also proud to share that our stand was awarded ‘Best Stand Making Use of Floral Decorations on a Trade Stand Exhibit’. It was a lovely surprise and a real team effort. The floral display was designed to reflect the Suffolk landscape we’re proud to work in every day, and it created a welcoming space for conversations and enquiries.

    Across the two days, Ed, Shaun, Peter, and Tony were on hand to welcome visitors, offer advice, and showcase a wide selection of products from leading manufacturers including WPL, Klargester, Flygt, Haba, and Marsh. We also had a range of vehicles from our fleet on display, giving visitors a closer look at the equipment we use to deliver expert wastewater solutions across the region.

    It was great to speak to so many people about their current systems, upcoming projects, and future plans, whether domestic or commercial. The Suffolk Show is not just a place to do business; it’s also a brilliant opportunity to meet other local businesses, exchange ideas, and celebrate everything that makes our rural economy thrive.

    A big thank you to everyone who stopped by to see us, and to the show organisers for delivering another outstanding event. We’re already looking forward to the Royal Norfolk Show and Tendring Hundred Show later this summer, and hope to see many of you there.

    In the meantime, whether you’re a homeowner looking for advice or a business exploring wastewater solutions, we’re here to help. Get in touch with our friendly team to find out how we can support your next project.

    Binder shines at the Suffolk Show 2024

    Binder Ltd proudly attended the Suffolk Show on 29 and 30 May 2024, marking yet another successful participation in this historic county event. Hosted at the scenic Trinity Park in Ipswich by the Suffolk Agricultural Association, the Suffolk Show is a prestigious annual celebration dating back to 1832, that celebrates the best of Suffolk’s heritage, culture, and industry.

    Despite a few rain showers, the weather didn’t dampen the spirits of the visitors who came out in droves to enjoy the event’s diverse attractions and activities. The Suffolk Show is known for offering a little something for everyone, from agriculture and food to crafts and more, making it a fun experience for the whole family.

    One of the big highlights for us this year was the visit from the Duke of Gloucester. His Royal Highness took the time to meet our founder, Wally Binder, which was a real honour and a moment we’ll remember for a long time. It’s not every day you get to rub shoulders with royalty!

    We’re also thrilled to share that Binder Ltd brought home not one but two prizes this year! Our team’s hard work and creativity paid off when we won the award for Best Floral Display. Our stand was bursting with color and beauty, thanks to the dedication of our talented team. On top of that, we were awarded Best Overall Stand, a huge recognition of the effort we put into making our booth engaging and inviting for everyone who stopped by.

    Throughout the show, we had the chance to meet so many wonderful people, including our loyal customers and lots of new faces. It was fantastic to chat with everyone, share our latest products, and hear valuable feedback. These connections mean the world to us and help us keep improving and serving our community better.

    The Suffolk Show itself was packed with activities and exhibits that showcased the very best of what Suffolk has to offer. From stunning agricultural displays and mouth-watering food exhibits to unique crafts and lively entertainment, there was no shortage of things to see and do. The atmosphere was vibrant and welcoming, making it a memorable event for all who attended.

    We want to extend a big thank you to the Suffolk Agricultural Association for putting together such a fantastic show and to all the visitors who made it a success. Winning the awards for Best Floral Display and Best Overall Stand was the cherry on top of an already amazing experience. We’re already looking forward to next year and can’t wait to do it all over again!

    Loyal service celebration

    Binder Ltd are continuing what has become somewhat of a tradition over the last 10 years by presenting beautiful half gold sovereigns to members of staff who have worked for the company for 20 years. 

    Chairman, Wally Binder, is delighted on behalf of the Directors to present both Derek Youngman and Paul Compton with their long service awards.  Derek started with us a tanker driver in 2001. Derek came to Binder’s after 10 years working for the Tolly Cobbold brewery as a drayman. Over the years Derek has become an extremely popular tanker driver amongst our customers, with our scheduling team often being asked for them to send “the man with the beard”.  

    Paul started his time with Binder making fibreglass products and soon went into our construction department which replaces septic tanks for sewage treatment plants into both domestic and commercial applications. After 4 years in our construction department, Paul achieved his HGV license and moved on to become one of our Tanker Drivers becoming a senior Tanker Driver for 3 years. in 2018 a vacancy became available assisting in running our on-site sewage treatment plant. Paul is now an integral part of the team which operates this important part of the business.  

    All the Directors would like to express their gratitude to both Derek and Paul for their stoic commitment to the Binder brand and would also like to take this opportunity to thank everyone, those who have recently joined and those who have become an integral part of the fabric for their hard work over what had been a very challenging and unprecedented time.  Let’s look forward to many more years together !!!!!
