THE BIG GREEN SAFETY MACHINE TURNS 30
In an age where companies come and
go at a noisy and alarming rate, there’s
something reassuring about the safe
hands of McCue, still protecting people
and businesses after 30 years of trading.
In that time the company, formed by
an Englishman abroad, headquartered
in Boston, MA and with a flourishing
European office based in Milton Keynes,
has taken ‘across the board’ safety to new
levels.
The one time ‘Bumper Company’ is
now the ultimate one-stop-shop for
facility protection, working with major
businesses across the globe to guard
hardware, people and vital structures on
the factory floor, in storage, in distribution
and on the shop floor.
Turning 30 is a landmark for most –
and it’s the same at McCue – with the
company this year diversifying into two
new and exciting markets, airports and
docks.
On top of this, the company is now
offering an added bonus to clients who
have environmental targets. Should they
wish to reposition, upgrade or remove an
existing barrier, McCue will simply take it
away for recycling.
It’s this, coupled with McCue’s already
green-sensitive products, which are
already proving to be a boost to major
retailers who have green targets to meet.
A typical steel safety barrier on installation
will look good, but over time it will rust,
corrode, scratch and degrade, and it will
need maintenance and repainting. Any
collision and the barrier will function, but
it is also likely to crumple, damaging the
floor in the process. It will then probably
need uprooting and replacing.
McCue’s polypropylene barriers
immediately solve these issues. Their
inherent flexibility allows them to
absorb forces and reform after collisions,
protecting the floor, the equipment and
the people in the process.
Plus, the barriers’ ultra-low maintenance
properties mean that re-painting
and ongoing maintenance are all but
eliminated.
