HAPPY 80TH!!!

Celebrating 80 Years of Leadership, Legacy & Industry Excellence


Today we proudly celebrate Mike Collins, Director of BMES, as he marks an incredible 80th birthday.


A true pioneer of the earth-moving industry, Mike’s journey began in the early 1980s, long before BMES and Hercules Machinery Group (HMG) became trusted names in the sector.


In 1993, Mike established the business with a clear vision: to build something enduring — not just a company, but a legacy for his three children, his team, and the customers he would serve for generations.


Now, 32 years on, BMES remains a family-owned and operated business, grounded in strong values, deep industry knowledge, and an unwavering commitment to quality.


As the parent company of Hercules Machinery Group, BMES continues to grow, evolve, and support both long-standing and future customers with reliable products and expertise they can trust.


Mike’s leadership has always been driven by foresight, integrity, and a passion for the industry — qualities that continue to shape the company today.


From all of us at BMES and Hercules Machinery Group, we thank Mike for his vision, dedication, and decades of contribution to the earth-moving industry.



🎂 Happy 80th Birthday, Mike — here’s to an extraordinary legacy and many more milestones ahead.
