A LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT

Hello Friends,
The holiday season is upon us and 2020 is coming to an end. I can’t help but see all of the lights around northeast Ohio as a sign of the holidays approaching, but also as a sign of a light at the end of the tunnel for this year! Please be sure to responsibly celebrate this holiday season with great, high quality products that only BDI can offer. Cheers to a happy and healthy holiday season!

Cheers,
Mike Conway

BDI Community Involvement

As 2020 looks different for everyone, it also looks different for the BDI Giving Tree. In years past, all of our team has donated various books, toys, clothing, food and money to several local charities. This year we have decided that in light of Covid-19, we would just do an automatic payroll deduction and donate to a few of our local charities. The recipients of this year’s giving tree will be the Cleveland Food Bank, Ronald McDonald House and BDI is adopting a family through the Cuyahoga County Department of Children and Family Services. As of this posting, we are currently at $1060 which will be graciously matched by Beverage Distributors. Therefore we are at $2120 to donate back to our community and hopefully more when all is said and done. Please do what you can this holiday season to help someone in the community.

What is Beverage Distributors doing to combat COVID-19 with our employees & retailers- UPDATE

The CDC and Health Department of Ohio have given us great guidance as to help our employees and retailers. Below are just a few ways we are implementing at BDI.

  • Social Distancing throughout the entire plant
  • Limiting hours open to the public. Mon-Fri 9am- 3:30 pm
  • All drivers, sales reps have received medical disposable gloves, masks (both disposable & washable/reusable), hand sanitizer and wipes. These are to be used after each individual stop
  • Everyone is frequently reminded to stock up on these products when at our warehouse
  • Our employees are out early in the mornings before peak shopping time as much as possible and out of the accounts before peak shopping times.
  • Our front office employees and daily in house sales employees are currently working on a rotating schedule to help keep exposure levels low
  • BDI has implemented a new cleaning company throughout our plant
  • BDI has offered all employees a chance to have their personal vehicles cleaned out by the Emergency Clean Team LLC. BDI also had all of our equipment/vans/fleet cleaned as well.
  • Doing our best to adhere to ever changing policies & procedures handed down to us by our chain accounts.

How is Beverage Distributors doing it’s part in this fight?

  • We are working to certify all of our employees on the warning signs of human trafficking
  • They have the opportunity to be eyes on the streets
  • We have added signs on the back of a few of our trucks to instruct people to call the anonymous number if they see something suspicious. These trucks are in heavily trafficked areas
  • We are having t-shirts made for our drivers to wear out in the market
  • Anything we can do to help fight against human trafficking!
