You may have noticed the letters B.G.S on the back of every pack of Pratley Adhesives. So, what does B.G.S actually stand for?

As you know, Pratley invented "Pratley Putty", the world's first epoxy based putty. In the early days, our sales representatives (from our electrical products division) would routinely demonstrate this amazing new product "Pratley Putty" to their existing customers. These were mostly practical hands-on people like foremen, electricians, miners and engineers.

Our sales representatives would also frequently leave a small sample of Pratley Putty with these customers and enthusiastically await their comments on the followup visit."

Every Pratley representative sends a written customer call report to management. Curiously, the various representatives' reports would always say the same thing. "Customer says it's "Bloody Good Stuff." After hearing this exact phrase from hundreds of customers, the acronym B.G.S (Bloody Good Stuff) naturally evolved. Today, just for fun and lest we forget, B.G.S is printed on the back of every pack of Pratley Adhesive.

So there you have it: B.G.S = "Bloody Good Stuff!"
