Two New Additions to the Bensons Team
We are delighted to announce the recent expansion of our team at Bensons with the addition of Sales Engineer Qasim Hussain and Estimator Gemma Burkinshaw.
As part of our ongoing commitment to enhancing both our service offerings and operational efficiency, it was a natural step for us to strengthen our team with skilled individuals who can help us continue to grow and succeed.
To introduce them and understand the valuable contributions they’ll be making, we decided to take a more personal approach. Instead of simply introducing them, we asked Qasim and Gemma to share a bit about themselves and their roles here at Bensons. Here’s what they said:

Leeds Manufacturing Festival 2025

The importance of using the right cable
Within a control panel, a cable will either distribute power or allow devices to communicate. The size, colour, and material used all determine how well the cable works.
Employee to Apprentice
A key element of the vision for securing the future of Bensons is recognising performance, and reinvesting in our team members to enable them to grow and develop with the business.
Expanding our Case Studies
Our goal in every project that we undertake is to give our customers peace of mind, knowing that they can rely on Bensons to provide an outstanding solution to satisfy their control panel requirements.
