Sales and Marketing

Bowner & Kirkland targets such sectors as the commercial, distribution, education, health, hospitality, industrial, leisure, and retail industries.

Financial Performance

Revenues and net income have been fluctuating since 2010 as market conditions waver. In 2014, net sales increased 11% to £732.3 million, while net income increased 37% to £20.6 million. Higher sales were partially offset that year by an increase in payables and other charges.

Also in 2014, the company saw a net operating cash outflow of £6.6 million, versus an inflow of £32.4 million the prior year.

Strategy

Bowmer & Kirkland is continuously growing and looking to diversify its portfolio of companies. One of the newest additions to the Bowmer & Kirkland Group is a homeland security and public safety division. Through Soncell International the company provides communication equipment, secure transmission, and other security products in the US, UK, and Middle East.

Diversity is key to success for Bowmer & Kirkland, which has traditionally relied heavily on the construction business. However, the down economy injured the construction market. In order to endure the challenging market Bowmer & Kirkland launched joint ventures in order to secure additional construction work.
