After half a million pounds worth of restructuring, investment and consolidation, and a management buy out at the end of 2003, Hull based Bennett Glass and Frames Ltd has hit the new year running with the results of all that hard work coming to fruition. The Status fabricator has doubled production turnover, winning several new accounts within its target market.
Bennett Glass has invested significantly in increasing the overall professionalism of its approach. These investments have taken the form of both tangible assets - such as building, machinery and IT – and other more intangible commercial concepts such as overall corporate attitude.

Bennett Glass and Frames is the combination of two companies – Frametec and Bennett Glass – which, although operating under the same roof, were still separate businesses. Paul Myers was brought in by the then owners, the Kyoob Group, to restructure the organisation. A management buy out in December 2003 finally led to the establishment of a single trading body – Bennett Glass & Frames Ltd.

Upwards of half a million pounds has been invested by the company over the last 12 months. This includes new premises, a complete new IT system, additional manufacturing capacity, and staff development and training. Paul Myers believes that a long term approach to building a solid and professional infrastructure will make a significant contribution to increasing overall growth and profitability.
