New website & history

Bentall Rowlands are thrilled to welcome you to our brand-new website. Designed to provide you with a seamless and insightful experience, our new website opens the door to our rich history and exciting innovations.

Before you dive into our new website, let’s take the time to explore our journey through time. A journey that has shaped us into the innovative company we are today.

A Legacy of Innovation

Our story begins back in the 18th century with William Bentall, an agricultural engineer from Essex. He designed the groundbreaking ‘Goldhanger’ plough, which set new standards in design and production until 1947. This marked the beginning of the Bentall legacy—a legacy built on a deep commitment to innovation.

Evolution and Growth

As we move forward in time, we’ll discover how this legacy was nurtured and passed down through generations. It led to patents, ventures into yacht and motorcar manufacturing and global exports in the late 19th century.

A Unified Company

In 1988, a significant chapter unfolded as our newly formed company acquired Rowlands Engineers, consolidating bulk storage handling businesses and driving our journey forward.

Focused on Tomorrow

Fast forward to August 2003 when Bentall Rowlands Storage Systems Limited was acquired by Leyland Exports Limited. With Kevin Groom (Technical Director) and Rex Hilton (Sales Director) at the helm, a clear vision emerged: focus on one market and excel. And excel we did.

Today, Bentall Rowlands specialises in turnkey storage solutions, bulk storage handling and processing equipment for agriculture and industry. We’ve earned a global reputation, proudly holding Key Preferred Supplier status with industry giants like Buhler Switzerland, Cargill and the Dangote Group of Companies.

Join us in Shaping the Future

As we unveil this new website, we extend a heartfelt invitation not only to explore our history but also to witness our innovations. Stand with us as we shape the future of agriculture and industry. Bentall Rowlands is where history intertwines with innovation and we’re excited to have you as part of this journey.
