What our clients say

Without a doubt, the best thing about working at BGEN is the people. At Penketh, colleagues have a close-knit bond that spans many years and generations.

I’m second generation BGEN – my dad also works for the business – so I’ve grown up with the company. Many of our family friends are also BGEN through and through, which really does give the company a familial feel.

Scott Kinsella, Project engineer

Since 2019, we have been working on a large scale capital investment within our Macclesfield Campus. In this time, BGEN has invested heavily in its quality management practices with a real focus on client commissioning, qualification and validation (CQV) requirements.

The progressive inspections and good documentation practice (GDP) instilled throughout the projects stage-gates has improved efficiencies during CQV helping to reduce overall project durations. In addition, our combined commitment to “right first time” delivered excellent build quality results.
