| Admin/Biograhical History | Baker Perkins had a long history of carrying out large projects on behalf of its customers, and the need was seen for a new type of business division, unrestricted as to the type of work that it would undertake, able to draw on diverse skills to cope with exceptional one-off situations - and capable of providing a flexible engineering service. The Special Projects Division was officially named as such in 1986. In 1991 the Special Projects Division of APV Baker, as it had by now become, won a Queen’s Award for Export Achievement, and the Escalator Division won a Queen’s Award in April 1992, this time for Technology Achievement.
The Special Projects division closed in March 1993. For further information visit www.bphs.net |
