BHC are celebrating 10 years of manufacturing hovercraft.
We now have a very buoyant UK market, and to survive in this industry, we also needed to be a player in the World market.
In those 10 years, we have exported to nearly 50 countries.
We have achieved an awful lot in that time, blending as a team, and with multiple members of the Bristow family on board it makes BHC a family business.”
This company couldn’t be where it is today, without the team effort that has been put in by everybody. You know who you are and thank you for your support.
Special thanks also go to our customers, distributors, and agents worldwide who have helped turn BHC into a global business.
When we started, who would have thought that we would be supplying Search & Rescue hovercraft across the world, but more notably, supplying rescue hovercraft to the Ukraine Army and Police force, which have saved numerous lives, and we hope they continue to do so.
Our hovercraft has also been used to film flamingos for Planet Earth.
We have also designed hovercraft to be used to detect mines, spray crops, along with many more unusual applications.
Who would have thought we would be manufacturing a passenger craft to be used by Netflix in Alaska.
We are also so close to launching a commercially viable electric hovercraft, watch this space…
We have exhibited in shows such as the Goodwood Festival of Speed, the Southampton Boat Show, Flood Ex, the BHP show, Santa Pod, Henley Regatta, Dover Regatta, Limassol boat show, Manilla boat show, to name but a few and 2025 promises to add a lot more to the list.
We have been on Top Gear, Clarkson’s Farm, Nitro Circus, the Gadget Show, Planet Earth, the BBC, ITV, GB News, as well as several European tv channels.
We are supporting 11 UK hovercraft activity centres and four overseas.
