Who We Are
Our Story
When you grow up helping run your family’s fishing lodge on Haida Gwaii, an island off British Columbia’s north coast, you learn early the demands of housing and operating in remote places. So, when B.C. verged on an LNG megaproject boom more than a decade ago, Brian Grange’s upbringing became a straightforward business vision: turn the sea into a strategic advantage.
Brian founded Bridgemans to bring floating workforce housing to remote projects, giving developers across LNG, mining and infrastructure the ability to launch faster, retain their workforce, and operate more efficiently, all while respecting the environment and Indigenous territories.
The impact was anything but small. Bridgemans expanded globally and added marine transport services and marine construction to its offering – becoming the trusted partner for the world’s most demanding projects.
With operations on all seven continents, that global reach earned Brian back-to-back recognition on Vancouver Magazine‘s “50 Most Powerful People” list and a place on Ernst & Young’s “Entrepreneur of the Year” roster.
