Throughout the event, attendees were invited to explore the new facility, meet the growing team, and view demonstrations highlighting the company's expertise across building envelope testing, compliance, and technical consultancy services.
Brian Shannon, Divisional MD, Built Environment at Phenna Group, said: "The opening of this new facility is a fantastic milestone for the BET team and a strong example of the continued investment being made across all our businesses. Creating modern technical facilities like this not only strengthens capability and capacity but also supports our teams in continuing to deliver the high standards of service and technical expertise our clients rely on. It is great to see the business continuing to grow and invest for the future."
