Thu, 26 Jun 2025 | DIVISION SALE
A North Yorkshire-based company that provides maintenance and repair services for more than 1,100 commercial and public sector buildings is targeting further expansion after acquiring the assets and client portfolio of another business.
Robinsons secured 400 additional client sites through the acquisition of the assets and client portfolio of Bensons Gas Engineering, a firm that provides commercial gas services to settings including healthcare facilities, council buildings and schools.
Robinsons managing director Luke Kitchen said: "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."
As a result of the acquisition, the total number of sites in Robinsons’ portfolio has surpassed 1,500. Its portfolio includes commercial and industrial buildings in sectors such as banking, leisure, hospitality, retail and healthcare, along with around 30 school academy trusts and numerous commercial property managers and landowners.
Bensons Gas Engineering was founded in Harrogate in 1961, subsequently expanding to its current headquarters in Normanton. Following the divestment, the company will focus on developing its core business, Bensons Control Panels.
Bensons 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."
