Welcoming Meg to the Beninca team…

As well as recently increasing the size of our premises, we have once again increased the size of the Beninca UK team. We’ve had the pleasure of welcoming Meg Sudlow, joining us as Administrative Assistant in early September.

Meg studied at Cours Ste Catherine de Sienne in Normandy (north of France) and then undertook a variety of different courses at Newbury College. Meg is now the third apprentice to join us via the West Berkshire Training Consortium apprenticeship scheme and we are very proud to continue to support young and local individuals into the workplace.

Meg originally showed interest in finance and is therefore being mentored here by Nadia within our Finance team but has been getting involved with a variety of different tasks across the board. Meg has already wowed us with her can-do approach, and we know she is going to go far. Based in the office, Meg can quite often be found answering our busy mainline with her friendly tone, so please do continue to give her a warm welcome.

In her spare time, Meg is a keen artist and enjoys drawing and practising her modern calligraphy skills, which she very kindly put to good use for our recent Gala Dinner event, creating a stunning table plan and name places.

If you wish to contact Meg, please see her details below:

dhf training success!

We were very happy to see our new training room officially in use on Thursday 14th November, with the first-ever DHF training course in full swing and being held within our brand new premises. Guests were welcomed on the day into our stylish training room and undertook the 1-day Level 2 Award in Automated Gate & Traffic Barrier Safety.

The 1-day course covered several modules and at the end of the course, candidates left with a thorough understanding of standards applying to automated gate and barrier systems, along with the ability to accurately conduct and document a risk assessment with a clear overview of the latest legislation.

Congratulations to all the candidates who visited us here at Beninca UK and completed the training course, offered by DHF.

The 1-day Automated Gate Safety Certificate course is now even better than ever. Re-designed in a way that is easier to digest and accredited to offer a formal qualification.  The course is ideal for installers and maintenance engineers of automated gates and traffic barriers, but may also be useful to salespeople who wish to expand their knowledge.

Here at Beninca UK, we strive to ensure gate safety is a vital part of today’s gate automation industry and are proud members of the DHF Automated Gate Group. As a member, we stand by DHF and its commitment to raising standards by offering the best training possible. We therefore highly recommend all automated gate and barrier installers look to undertake a DHF training course.

Beninca UK 2019 Open House

 

Our recent Open House event held on Friday 27th September was a huge success, with General Manager Jamie Berry officially opening the doors wide to our new premises, alongside the Beninca UK team and supported by our Italian founders.

We had a fantastic turn out on the day and were thrilled to welcome so many of our long-standing customers to our new home. Customers were wowed on arrival by a show-stopping Lamborghini Huracán in Beninca yellow. We chose to have this iconic Italian supercar at our event as we feel it embodies many of the same values our brand stands for, being Italian founded with a focus around design, speed and innovation much like many of our products.

 

 

Customers were given their first look around our new and much larger premises including our impressive showroom with stylish trade counter and greeted with a Beninca goody bag including, a re-usable Beninca stainless steel water bottle and beanie hat for on the road, along with a bottle of unique Beninca Golden Ale by Two Cocks brewery paired with a bottle opener.

 

 

Guests could take a tour of our sizeable warehouse facility and state of the art demonstration and testing area which features a number of our products. Mark Crewe our Technical Manager was available to answer all technical queries first-hand on the day. Customers could also look around our new modern training room which is located on our first floor.

 

 

On the day, guests were well and truly looked after with salami and Italian cheese on offer, as well as an open bar offering bespoke Beninca 1979 wine and delicious wood-fired pizzas. Guests were also given the opportunity to take advantage of exclusive offers only available on the day and we were very pleased with how well these were received and resulted in Beninca UK having a very productive day.

Finally, it was a brilliant opportunity to celebrate the incredible 40th anniversary of Benincà Group. A huge achievement for the founding brothers Aldo and Luigi and the entire company.

 

 

Arthur Keates from Ark Wrought Ironwork Ltd kindly commented ‘New place is very impressive, but most importantly Jamie and his team are nice to deal with and the service is excellent – more important than price in my book. The open day was outstanding.’

 

The entire Beninca UK team we would like to thank all our customers for taking the time to attend our Open House event. If you did attend, we would love to hear feedback, please drop us a note at – info@beninca.co.uk
