Our Story
What Makes Sybron Different?
Built on Strong Foundations. Focused on the Future.
- Founded by Steve & Trevor Henwood
Sybron was founded by Steve and Trevor Henwood with one used van and just 185 sq m of warehouse space. From day one, their ambition was simple: to deliver an unparalleled, personal service that genuinely exceeded customer expectations – backed by competitive pricing and practical, cost-saving solutions.
More than 23 years on, that same ethos still defines everything we do.
Today, Sybron is one of the UK’s largest independent suppliers in our sector, employing over 85 dedicated team members and supporting customers nationwide. Our success has been built on long-term relationships, consistency, and a genuine commitment to doing the right thing – for our customers, our people, and the environment.
- March 2025 - New Chapter
In March 2025, Sybron entered an exciting new phase with a management buyout (MBO) led by the existing leadership team. This transition ensures continuity, stability, and confidence for our customers, while protecting the values and culture that Steve and Trevor established from the very beginning.
The new management team has grown within the business and knows Sybron inside out.
From our SyBio and SySoft product ranges to our journey towards Net Zero, electric vehicle investment, and ongoing service improvements, Sybron is evolving - without losing what makes us different.
Our Leadership Focus
Personal, Responsive Service
Maintaining the attentive, personal approach Sybron is known for
Sustainability & Innovation
Continuing to invest in Net Zero goals, EV fleet, and eco-friendly solutions
Independence & Stability
Ensuring Sybron remains strong, customer-led for the long term
We believe this balance of heritage, experience, and forward-thinking leadership is why so many customers choose to stay with Sybron – and why they can feel confident in our future.
