Bence
Leadership Team
Started in 1983 by James Brown, the business has expanded both its capability and its customer base, offering a variety of mobile spaces to Emergency Services, NHS and private customers.
Managing Director
Oliver Brown
WH Bence was founded the year I was born so I think this business has always been in my blood. I love the excitement of the ever changing work, from the design of the new version of the mini fire appliance to creating a mobile hospitality space.
Production Director
Edward Brown
With Bence in his blood, Edward could from an early age be found at the company, either having a go at fabrication or spraying vehicles in our paint shop. In 2007 Edward officially joined Bence part time in the design team whilst attending University.
Chairman
James Brown
In 1982 James was an expert coachbuilder working for one of the South West’s leading specialist vehicle companies. When the company went into receivership, putting James out of work, he decided to launch his own company.
Company Secretary
Sue Brown
Having started my career as a Pharmacist it was quite a dramatic change to move over to the world of vehicle production! I came to Bence to be part of my own business and to work alongside my family.
"Over 35 years’ experience of design and manufacturing bespoke mobile spaces for customers including mobile medical, motor racing and emergency services"
