Industry loses
Brian Bull
It is with great sadness that we have lost another
great legend in our industry: Brian John Bull, founder
and owner of BB Enterprises.
By the Bull Family
It was with this move that he found his
passion for working with his hands and
inventing products that added to practicality
of life. His mentor and manager at the time
assisted him and his then wife, Jennifer, to
start their own plastics engineering company
– BB Enterprises. This new venture moved
Bull into many different circles in our industry
from making fume cupboards for labs to
scrubbers for mines – from the chemical
industry to breweries and finally to the
plumbing industry.
Bull was a gentleman and true friend
to all he met and always made every-
one feel welcome. He started his work
journey as a tradesman in the South
African Post Office. He then moved to
Chemplast plastics and worked in the
sales department there for numerous
years, before being promoted to Sales
Manager.
Brian Bull
Through sheer hard work, dedication
and passion the business grew to where
it eventually employed over 60 full-time
employees and carried Bull and his family for 20 years. Along the way, Bull acquired Bricks and took
over the manufacturing of the one- and two-way vent valves in South Africa. He was the inventor of
the two-way dual flush front handle mechanism and was a great friend to Vaal Potteries, assisting
with making small detailed components for their products.
Brian you were a true friend, a gentleman and a caring, loving individual and your knowledge and
passion will be missed.
The family we would like to thank Plumbing Africa for placing this article. PA
