Founded in 1964 as a tractor dealership in Carlisle, Lloyd Ltd has grown significantly over the past five decades while remaining a family-run business with strong local roots. The company now has branches across the North of England and South of Scotland - including Bishop Auckland, Carlisle, Dumfries, Kelso, Lancashire, the Lothians, Newcastle, and Penrith. Lloyd Ltd supports a wide range of industry sectors - agricultural, equestrian, ground care, lawncare, and construction & material handling - through its range of new and used equipment and machinery.
Before partnering with BCarm, we found our previous H&S support lacked the proactive approach we needed to drive the business forward. Health and Safety felt like a reactive obligation rather than a core part of our operations. With an increase in workplace accidents and growing concern over compliance and staff engagement, it became clear that we needed a more modern, supportive solution.
BCarm’s digital platform has transformed the way we manage H&S. With their guidance, we rolled the system out across different levels of management, tailoring the process to suit each team. Their support was instrumental in helping staff understand their responsibilities and how to meet them.
Given the nature of our business—working with heavy machinery and operating in high-risk environments—ensuring robust H&S practices is critical. One of our biggest challenges had always been keeping staff on top of H&S documentation. Paper-based systems were inefficient and often led to gaps in compliance.
BCarm’s digital platform has transformed the way we manage H&S. With their guidance, we rolled the system out across different levels of management, tailoring the process to suit each team. Their support was instrumental in helping staff understand their responsibilities and how to meet them.
The most immediate benefit has been the system’s task prompt functionality—it ensures everyone knows what needs to be done and when. Additionally, having a single digital hub for all documentation has significantly improved efficiency and visibility across the business.
Perhaps most importantly, BCarm has enabled us to present better, clearer evidence to our insurers of the progress we’ve made in managing Health & Safety. This not only gives us peace of mind but reinforces our commitment to continuous improvement and a safer working environment.
