We’re delighted to welcome Benjamin Maylett to Thurston Group as our new Head of Safety, Health, Environment and Quality (SHEQ).

Benjamin joins us with senior leadership experience across complex, multi-site manufacturing environments. With a background in Chemical Engineering and extensive expertise in ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 systems, he has led large-scale audit programmes, strengthened compliance frameworks and embedded robust safety cultures across operational teams.

His appointment represents an important step as we continue to strengthen the operational foundations of the business.

Raising the Bar on Standards and Discipline

Quality, safety and environmental responsibility are not box-ticking exercises. They underpin everything we do - from the way we design and manufacture our buildings, to the way we operate across our production facilities and customer sites.

As Thurston continues to evolve, operational discipline and governance remain central to our long-term ambitions. Benjamin will lead our SHEQ function to ensure we maintain the highest standards while supporting scalable, sustainable expansion. Together the team will focus on embedding consistent standards across all divisions, driving continuous improvement, and ensuring that safety and quality remain visible priorities.

This appointment reinforces our commitment to:

  • Protecting our people
  • Delivering consistent product quality
  • Meeting and exceeding regulatory standards
  • Operating responsibly and sustainably

    • We’re pleased to welcome Benjamin to the team and look forward to the leadership and expertise he brings as we continue building a stronger, more resilient Thurston Group.
