OUR STORY

Born the son of an excavation contractor on a small farm in the west of Ireland, Paul Foley was truly raised in the industry. After earning a degree in Construction Economics and Building Management, he worked across Europe, Australia, and eventually the United States, finally settling in Northern California. Despite his success as a contractor, Paul observed that the heavy civil materials industry still operated much like it did fifty years ago. He recognized an opportunity for the right technology to help contractors and suppliers connect more easily to get more done.In the summer of 2020, Paul founded Bulk Exchange to modernize the search-to-award process while preserving the industry’s core values. The platform offers innovative tools, such as an industry-specific search engine and marketplace, which connect supply and demand efficiently for the first time. Bulk Exchange is the product of Paul’s vision, his team’s dedication, and, most importantly, the input from its customers. It stands as the first of its kind, born from years of experience and thousands of hours of development, designed to bring the bulk materials sector into the digital age while honoring its rich traditions.
