Inside Info..

In July 2004 the West Horndon plant was officially closed and most of the West Horndon employees were made redundant.

Gary Cook, one of the skilled and experienced machinists took this opportunity to set up and establish the new Special Metals Fabrication Ltd at premises based in Wickford.

The new Special Metals Fabrication was thus born and is now a thriving and successful fabrication company with the emphasis on growth.

Many of the original West Horndon employees have now joined Gary, each bringing along their unique skills, knowledge and experience to the business.

We trust that the above and other information on this site has given you an insight into our capabilities and hope we will be given the opportunity to quote against your present and future enquiries
