Our History.
Our Legacy.
How We Started BK&P Services, Inc.
Bob Lumley and his daughter, Kristina, founded BK&P Services, Inc. in June of 1997. After two decades working for a large forklift company in Louisiana, Bob wanted to start his own company. Looking to spend more time with his grandkids, Bob settled on Ozark, Missouri as the perfect landing spot.
He took his extensive knowledge in leadership, business, and all things forklift to make BK&P one of the top forklift companies in the United States.
His accolades are unmatched, and we are thankful for his discipline and hard work ethic.
Bob passed away in August of 2022.
We are indebted to the life and legacy of our founder, father, and grandfather, and we hope to make him proud by continuing to steward his brand.
