Brompton Bikes

For example, Brompton recently spent £250,000 to develop a unique thermo-graphic auto-brazing machine, to ensure the perfect weld, resulting in a high quality durable frame, key to creating a perfect ride. Similarly Bott has also invested in the latest CNC Sheet Metal bending and punching facilities with automatic material and part handling to help guarantee repeatable accuracy, central to the aim of supplying highly functional quality products built to last. With this shared philosophy in cutting edge investment it’s no surprise that Brompton contacted Bott to fit out their new flagship store in Covent Garden.

The new store named Brompton Junction is a Brompton-only concept store, the first of which opened in Kobe, Japan in March 2011. Brompton Junction stores can now be found in three other major cities: Amsterdam, Hamburg and Shanghai. These stores allow Brompton to showcase the full range of options available to customers.

David Holder said, “It was a delight to hear about this exciting project, and as always, our first aim was to really understand the brief. To this end we surveyed the store site and spent time listening to Harry to develop a clear specification of the required solution. Once completed we used 3D software to create a visualisation of the workshop and sourced paints to match Brompton’s corporate colours”

Once Brompton, confirmed the order the Bott Factory in Bude, Cornwall fabricated the products and organised delivery to the central London store. Conscious of the project’s tight deadlines and the challenge of central London deliveries, Bott’s project team focused on good communication and planning throughout the contract fulfilment stage as these were key to getting the job done right first time.
