Bennett Engineering are proud to be celebrating their 25^th year in business at the end of November 2024. Lots has been happening this year with new majority shareholders in place, a new director added to the board and a move to Derby which has changed the scope of services the company can offer.

John Bennett founded the business in 1999; as a sole trader he offered his skill set to a range of business in the East Midlands who needed a time served and highly competent project engineer. In April 2024 John sold his majority stake to Seleena Creedon and Craig Harbron. John said “Both Craig and Seleena have a real drive to deliver the absolute best in engineering, business and people related things. Craig is the most competent design engineers I have ever worked with whilst Seleena is one of the best people handlers I have come across. Their strength together is immense and I am excited to see what they will achieve.”

Bennett Engineering had operated from Loughborough and called the Technical Centre home for many years, however with the change of team, came a change of location and Bennett Engineering moved to their new home at Unit 5, Parcel Terrace in Derby.

With an industrial unit at their disposal Bennett Engineering have extended their service offering, whilst they have always offered a managed manufacturing service, and will continue to do so, the business is looking to offer manufacturing on a one-off basis for bespoke designs they have undertaken or as a partner for existing products or designs. With long term relationships with a range of manufacturers in the East Midlands, many of whom as Derbyshire based, the team at Bennett Engineering can offer peace of mind in the quality of manufacturing. Unit 5 has enabled them to provide commissioning of bespoke machinery, and assembly services to businesses who are needing to outsource that element of their business.
