The Bennett + Bennett Brisbane Projects as of 2020

Our Mission

Bennett + Bennett are now a diverse services company with a strong Infrastructure and Major Projects portfolio, adding to our original strong titling and construction services

To this day, Bennett + Bennett remains an independent privately owned consultancy managed by the Directors, Partners & Associates of the company. Our leadership team is highly accountable and able to direct the business with a focus on offering high levels of service to our clients.

INTRODUCING OUR NEW BOARD MEMBERS

We would like to formally introduce the new Board of Directors that has been elected by the Bennett + Bennett partnership group. With a strategy for growth established last year, the newly elected Board’s focus will be to make sure this strategy is implemented with a measured and considered approach to ensure Bennett + Bennett’s success going into the future.

The newly elected board is Mark Fritsch, Craig Wood, Ben Madden-Holmes, & Mark Billsborough. All Board members bring a wealth of expertise and experience with them and have previously held long-term roles with Bennett +  Bennett ensuring the company’s rich history and culture are at the forefront of every decision made by the Board going forward.

OUR HISTORY

As a proudly Queensland-owned and operated business established for over 55 years, the Bennett + Bennett Group has a very positive outlook for our regions going forward. The partnership group’s decision to consolidate the Board shows the wider group’s commitment to growth while maintaining a strong customer focus and creating opportunities for existing staff to grow with the privately owned company.
