Bengt Magnussen brings a wealth of experience and a passion for excellence, sustainability and transformation to his role as Commercial Director at TALO.
In a career spanning more than 30 years, Bengt has held senior management positions, heading up commercial and operational activities for a number of global businesses in sectors as diverse as superyacht manufacture, marine exploration for oil and gas, and oil platform construction in the North Sea.
In his role as TALO’s Commercial Director, he leads all commercial aspects of the business. This includes business development, supply chain management, overseeing manufacturing operations and work on site.
Bengt works closely with housebuilders, developers and public sector housing providers where TALO is a strategic delivery partner for timber superstructures, from initial enquiry to project handover.
He is responsible for setting up TALO’s first UK offsite manufacturing centre for its transformative net zero housebuilding solutions.
When the first factory is operational, Bengt will take overall responsibility for offsite manufacturing and site installation of TALO’s revolutionary timber superstructures, ensuring every housebuilding project is delivered on programme, to budget, and to the highest safety standards both in the factory and on site.
Once production nears capacity, there are plans for further production facilities which will be rolled out across the UK to meet customer demand and create local jobs to accelerate the construction of TALO’s zero carbon homes – from Scotland to the South West.
Outside of work, Bengt is a keen golfer and sailor.
