This is what long-term investment looks like.
Phenna Group continues to demonstrate its commitment to backing strong businesses with meaningful, long-term support, as showcased by the new state-of-the-art test laboratory at BET Building Envelope Technologies in County Wexford.
As part of Phenna's growing Built Environment division, this latest investment reflects our approach to supporting operating companies with real capital expenditure, proven leadership backing, and the facilities required to scale sustainably and enhance service delivery for clients.
Backing Growth, Not Just Promises
BET was one of Phenna Group's first investments in 2019. Five years on, the same leadership team remains in place, and the business is stronger than ever, continuing to grow, invest, and expand its capabilities.
This continuity of leadership is central to the Phenna model. Rather than short-term intervention, we back experienced leaders to lead their teams, grow their businesses, and deliver long-term value.
“BET is a business very close to my heart, so seeing how far the team has taken it since joining Phenna Group fills me with real pride. The same leadership team remains in place, the business continues to grow, and the investment in this new facility is a powerful reflection of what they have achieved together.”
Brian Shannon, Divisional Managing Director – Built Environment
Investing in Capability Across the Built Environment
Phenna Group continues to fund significant capex projects across its Built Environment portfolio from Thomas Bell-Wright to BuildCheck and now to BET. These investments are designed to strengthen technical capability, expand facilities, and support teams as demand for specialist testing, inspection, and compliance services continues to grow.
By investing in modern facilities and advanced testing environments, Phenna enables its operating companies to enhance their service offering, improve operational efficiency, and maintain the high standards clients expect.
A Proven Model for Sustainable Growth
“Our role at Phenna Group is to back high-quality businesses and proven leadership teams for the long term. The continued growth of BET, supported by investment in new facilities and capability, is exactly what our model is designed to enable.”
Phil Marshall, Chief Executive Officer, Phenna Group
The new BET facility is another clear example of the Phenna approach in action, backing businesses for the long term, supporting leadership continuity, and investing where it matters most.
The official opening of the BET test laboratory will take place in May, by invitation only.
