North Yorkshire-based Robinsons Facilities Services has acquired the assets and client portfolio of Bensons Gas Engineering.

Robinsons, which already maintains more than 1,100 commercial and public sector buildings in the Yorkshire and Humber region, will now take on a further 400 client sites as part of the acquisition.

Bensons Gas Engineering provides commercial gas services in a range of settings, including schools, healthcare facilities and council buildings. The business, based in Normanton, near Wakefield, will now focus on developing its core business, Bensons Control Panels.

Robinsons Managing Director, Luke Kitchen, said: “The launchpad for our growth has been our ability to make life easier for Yorkshire’s commercial property owners and managers.

“This is down to our rare position of offering a single point of access to an expert team that can deliver all their maintenance, repair and compliance needs - keeping their people safe and their buildings running efficiently.

“It’s a value proposition that is seeing property owners and managers turn to us in ever-increasing numbers, as it saves them from the time, hassle and expense of navigating a maze of multiple different service providers.”

“We share a similar client base to Bensons Gas Engineering so this acquisition – our biggest to date – really is a bullseye for Robinsons.

“It is a perfect fit and gives us a strong platform to introduce our broader range of services - including air conditioning, fire and security, water hygiene, electrical and other maintenance, repair and compliance services - to our new customer community.

“As fellow Yorkshire-based businesses with shared values and a proud heritage in commercial gas services, we’re proud to carry Bensons’ trusted reputation forward.”

Bensons Gas Engineering’s Managing Director, Helen Culloden, said: “I would like to thank all our commercial gas clients for their loyalty and trust over more than 60 years.

“I have every confidence that Robinsons will maintain the high standard of service that they have come to rely on and expect from Bensons.

“We will be supporting Robinsons in the background to ensure a smooth and seamless transition.”
