As a family company starting in February 2006 at the Lucindale field days, it has been a very rewarding six years. We have grown from a strong foundation of trial work to steadily expand to see our products being used in all states of Australia.

To win the innovation category in the SA Great awards in 2006 gave our fledgling company the inputs to spread and expand our client's base quickly. We then have grown rapidly again in Northern Australia because of the introduction of our Blue Cap Phosphorus and Green Cap travel mix.

In November 2010 we were nominated in the national small business awards held in Sydney in two categories. Business growth which we finished in the top 10 out of over 300 nominations and we finished in the top four in the Agriculture sector, although we did not win we all came away pleased with the recognition our company had received on the national stage.

It is pleasing to announce that our company is now entering another growth stage with plans being drawn up for new manufacturing facilities to be built in 2011. Our old facilities that have served us well have become too small and cramped for the volume manufactured and needed to be stored. This is an exciting time for all of us who have had the belief and the passion in the BLM range of products. To get reports back from happy clients from as far afield as the Gascoyne, Murchison and Kimberly region of Western Australia, the Northern Territory and then from the middle of Tasmania, shows that our products are an advantage to livestock all over Australia.
