We have been recognized in the Sunday Times HSBC Track 200 programme consecutively in 2013 and 2014 for growth in international sales, ranking an impressive 20th in the UK in 2014.
The Burden Group companies work closely with our suppliers and clients to deliver excellent service. We strive to exceed the expectations of everyone we work with and our highly trained and loyal team achieve this through their insight and understanding of the markets, combined with the group’s strong and secure financial base.
