Key messages

Our key messages reflect what is most important to our business, from our dedicated people to our high-quality products.

These three messages resonate the most in our business:

  • We make light work of technically challenging projects
  • Every product we produce is of the highest quality
  • People make the difference at Bennett architectural

Our team of technically gifted staff, quality products and services are what has helped our business grow from strength to strength for over 60 years.

Our customers

Our customers here at Bennett architectural include some of the biggest names in the construction industry including Laing O’Rourke, Balfour Beatty, Keir group and many more. The team here at Bennetts pride ourselves on building lasting relationships across the supply chain. These relationships are the result of over 60 years of experience in the construction industry. Our team aim to provide our customers with a clear straightforward project development process from the tender stage of the project all the way to the completion of the project in its entirety.

Where to find us

Founded in 1960, Bennett architectural is based on Rosevale business park in Newcastle-under-Lyme, Staffordshire. Operating from a purpose-built 25,000 sq ft office and manufacturing facility close to the motorway network, we are ideally situated to manage glazing installation across the country.

Environmental impact

Here at Bennetts, we believe in doing everything we can do to reduce our impact on the environment. That’s why we actively support MMC (modern methods of construction) projects, as we recognise the significant environmental impact that traditional installation methods can have.

As a company, we also promote and practice responsible recycling wherever possible. This includes office paper recycling, the recycling of damaged or unused glass from our manufacturing process and encouraging on-site recycling wherever it can be achieved.

We also believe that, as an employer, it is our responsibility to train the next generation of workers in the construction industry. We aim to ensure they not only work safely but also understand how to carry out their roles in the most environmentally friendly way possible. This is why we offer a range of apprenticeships across multiple departments within our business.
