Robinsons Facilities Services Acquires Bensons Gas Engineering in Strategic Expansion
June 24th, 2025
Last updated: December 15th, 2025
We’re proud to announce the acquisition of Bensons Gas Engineering’s trade and assets, bringing over 400 additional client sites into our care and pushing our total managed sites beyond 1,500 across Yorkshire and the Humber.
This “bullseye” acquisition marks our largest to date and reflects our ongoing commitment to simplifying facilities management for commercial property owners and managers.
Founded in Harrogate in 1961, Bensons has been a trusted name in commercial gas engineering for decades. We’re excited to continue that legacy while offering customers access to our full suite of services — including air conditioning, fire and security, water hygiene, electrical maintenance, and more.
We warmly welcome all new clients and look forward to supporting your buildings and your people.
What To Check Before Reopening Your Commercial Building After Christmas

Most buildings go quiet as Christmas rolls in. Staff head off, lights get switched off earlier, and even the busiest sites settle down for a breather. It’s a welcome pause, until someone walks through the door in January and finds a ceiling stain the size of Wetherby. We’ve seen our fair share of those New Year surprises over the years. That’s why we’ve put together a Christmas shutdown checklist for businesses which we believe is worth its weight. Not in paperwork, but in problems you don’t have to deal with when you come back.
