brothers Kev & Dave
Our story begins when in 1996 Dave started working for a small Metal Spinning Company as a welder, After a period of growth Kev joined the team shortly after leaving school in 1998. The two brothers worked on and off with each other for over 10 years until 2010 when a chance arose to start up on their own.
Our first premises was literally a converted pig shed which was roughly 800 sq ft which we quickly outgrew before relocating to the heart of Portsmouth in 2011. The following year our first employees joined.
In 2013 we achieved ISO 9001 accreditation which was a huge step in the right direction of where we wanted to be. After 4 more employees and a further 6 years we had outgrown once again and relocated to our current premises of 4500 sq ft in Waterlooville at the end of 2019 which we completed the purchase of in October 2024 which not only offers us security but also peace of mind for our customers that we are a stable established company.
