Bensons’ Continues to Invest for the Future Through Apprenticeships
A highly skilled workforce is a point of great pride for Bensons. To ensure that we continue to stay at the forefront of the UK control panel industry, we are committed to on-going investment in our team.
2020 is the second year of our apprentice programme, building on the experiences learnt in year one we have doubled our intake for this year.
We are delighted to welcome Tom Mee and Ben Ruby into the workplace after spending three months full-time at our training partner, Humberside Engineering and Training Association (HETA).
Tom and Ben are both working towards achieving a Level 3 Engineering Fitter qualification, they will spend four days each week applying the theory learnt at HETA whilst developing the complementary skills that will soon make them valuable contributors to the business.
Commenting on the scheme, Matthew Barton, director at Bensons says: “It is generally recognised that the UK suffers from a skills-gap in many areas of Science, Technology, Engineering and Manufacturing. As a forward-looking SME we feel it is only right that we make the necessary investment to help address this industry wide challenge”.
Strengthening our Workforce for 2024
We are proud to say that in 2024, we are an official supporter of the Leeds Manufacturing Festival, which aims to promote greater awareness of the range and depth of opportunities that careers in manufacturing can present to young people in the region.
2023 Retrospective
Our focus now is firmly on the future, the achievements of the year just gone have provided us with firm foundations for 2024. With a strong order book and opportunities for growth, both commercially and professionally for our team, Bensons finds itself at an exciting time to successfully progress onwards.
Thanks to everyone for 2023
As the Christmas period looms ever larger, we wanted to express our thanks and gratitude to our team, our suppliers and most of all to our customers who have helped to make 2023 a successful and rewarding 12 months for all involved.
Just to make you all smile as we end 2023!
In early 2023 we created a video to show off the facility that we work in, and at the same time explain our process from initial sales enquiry through to after-sales support. It was a lot harder than it looked!
