Bishop Reaches Out Following Hurricane Harvey
Harold King, president of Bishop Lifting Products and Delta Rigging & Tools, has reached out to customers, suppliers and friends of the business, having reopened last week following Hurricane Harvey, which formed on 24 August. In an email communication, he said:
“Bishop Lifting Products and Delta Rigging & Tools have made it through Hurricane Harvey and the Houston, Angleton and Sulphur offices officially reopened for business on Thursday 31 August. Hurricane Harvey hit Texas harder than expected, impacting millions, displacing hundreds of thousands. We prepared prior to the storm and remained in constant contact with our employees throughout the storm. All of our employees are safe, but many have water damage to their homes and cars, and few have lost everything.
Please contact us in regards to new or existing orders. Normal shipments and orders may take longer due to road conditions, freight delays and facility closures. Our other locations are helping with production to support our customers and utilizing inventory within our groups to minimize supply chain disruptions. Our team will do everything to help you meet your project deadlines.
Our parent company, SBP Holdings, set up a Go Fund Me account for employees affected by the storm. SBP will match employee contributions over the next 14 days. If you feel the need to donate, please contribute at: https://www.gofundme.com/sbpblp-employees-flood-relief
Thank you for your patience as our company returns to normal business. Our thoughts and prayers are with those who have been adversely affected.”
