Bennett

Area of expertise:

I am an engineer through and through. I set up Bennett Engineering to provide a hands on approach to design solutions for manufacturers in the hopes that I could provide better or easier ways to do things.

I am the problem solver, the concept generator, the thinker of better ways to do things and this all comes from having a long career where I have been exposed to a broad range of manufacturing techniques and settings.

Main responsibilities within Bennett Engineering:

• Specific client work
• Providing concepts for projects

What I enjoy most at Bennett Engineering:

• The range of clients we get to work with
• The challenges of projects
• The ability to put your thinking cap on
• The collaboration between everyone

What do you think sets Bennett Engineering apart:

The proof is in the pudding as they say. What I mean by this is the success that we’ve had over the last 25 years proves that Bennett Engineering is a great partner. Many clients use us as their outsourced design department which is a brilliant set up for them and us, lots of clients have been with us for a very long time too.

Again on that proof; over 95% of the mechanical designs that Bennett Engineering complete are manufactured and in many instances we are responsible for the manufacturing and assembly. Simply because our clients trust us to get a high quality result from our extensive network and experience.

What superpowers do you have:

• Ability to see a solution
• Good sense of humour
• Natural curiosity
• Practical hands-on engineer
• Take ideas and turn them into a commercial reality

If you could meet any historical figure who would it be:

Ötzi the Iceman; I would be really intrigued to hear about all of the materials he used, the way he made things and how he constructed things back in his day. The suggestion is he lived between 3350 and 3105 BC and when they autopsied his mummified body they could tell he ate einkorn grain and a mix of cooked red deer and goat meat. So what did he use to catch, kill, and book his meat and how did he harvest his grain?
