Milestones in The Bromford Story​


So where did the Bromford story all begin? Why was the name Bromford chosen? When did Mick Kent join us as Chief Executive? What year did we get our first computer? And when did our website first go live?

The answers to these and many more questions can by found in The Bromford Story.

This user-friendly, informative timeline charts some of the key milestones along a journey that has seen Bromford grow from modest beginnings and evolve into the large organisation that we are today.

Bromford Story still

To give it a bit of context, we've included some of the major events that dominated the national headlines throughout the decades, such as the BBC's screening of Ken Loach's inspirational film about homelessness, Cathy Come Home, and the Iron Lady coming to power in 1979.

And, of course The Bromford Story doesn't end here. We'll continue to add to the timeline as events unfold and we head into our 50th anniversary year.
