Our Story
Not built by a tech company.
Built by a welder fabricator.

Ten years ago, I picked up a torch for the first time. Since then, I have worked as a welder fabricator across some of the most demanding environments this trade has to offer. Bespoke fabrication, precision work, structural steel, and defence contracts. I have seen the same problem from both sides.

Brilliant welders, fabricators, machinists and metal artists with real skill and real craft, struggling to reach the customers who need exactly what they do. And customers wasting time on generic platforms where a specialist fabricator gets buried under every other trade going.

I have lived that frustration personally. So I decided to do something about it.

FabricationConnect UK was built by someone in the trade, for the trade.

This is ours.
