Exciting Changes at Bensons Panels | A Snapshot of the Latest People Update
In recent months we have continued our commitment to strengthening our team at all levels within the business. A high-performing team can only be as good as all of its team members, to this end we have been working on multiple levels.
Elevating Leadership for Sustainable Growth
In our pursuit of sustained and successful business performance and growth, we recognise the critical importance of effective leadership. To ensure the best possible leadership for our organisation, Helen Culloden, Mathew Orme, and Matthew Barton have embarked on a six-month leadership development and coaching programme. In collaboration with Marwel and Co., this programme is based on the well-established Leadership Circle framework. It aims to enhance the skills our leaders already possess while fostering the development of new areas of expertise.
The Leadership Circle framework integrates the competencies essential for effective leadership with an understanding of underlying habitual thought patterns that may limit leadership effectiveness. This strategic initiative underscores our commitment to fostering leadership excellence within our organisation.
Engineering Team Update
We are thrilled to announce the newest addition to our engineering team, Gavin, who brings a wealth of experience in designing control panels for automation systems. Gavin's expertise is proving invaluable as he seamlessly applies and adapts his knowledge across the diverse sectors in which our company operates.
Alongside his 'day job' Gavin is actively engaged in coaching wheelchair rugby at Wakefield Trinity and is a player for the Rochdale Hornets, boasting an impressive 25 caps for Scotland.
Bensons Panels is on a growth trajectory, bolstered by Gavin's expertise in our engineering team and a leadership development program for Helen Culloden, Mathew Orme, and Matthew Barton. The fusion of technical expertise and leadership positions us for sustained success and innovation across sectors. We're excited about the journey ahead, aiming for new heights and unparalleled success.
