Barry Bennett

Barry Bennett is a family owned business originally founded in 1971 by Mr Barry Bennett, a former Remington typewriter engineer. Barry developed the business to become one of the most successful and largest office supplies firms in the Greater Manchester area with a retail premises in Bolton. In 1994 Barry's son, Antony Bennett, was working as a sales rep for the business when a student popped into the retail premises because he couldn't get the DSA equipment and software he'd purchased elsewhere working properly, and he desperately needed help. He went onto explain that students in receipt of the DSA had to purchase each piece of kit from a different supplier which made the process very stressful for them and delayed their studies. Antony saw an opportunity to provide a one-stop-shop service which made the process much easier for the student and lead the way to how DSA equipment would be supplied in the future. Antony became Managing Director when his father retired in the year 2000 and since then Barry Bennett has grown to become the leading supplier of DSA equipment throughout the whole of the UK and now concentrates solely on the DSA business. Antony is passionate about ensuring that each student is treated with the upmost respect and that we make the order, delivery and aftercare service as seamless and stress-free as possible. We pride ourselves on exceptional service levels and customer care, and currently employ over 140 staff, including a nationwide team of trained installation engineers, qualified assessors, certified trainers and service support technicians which means we are able to provide a quick, efficient service throughout the UK, whatever the requirement.
