Alan Dawson Associates, under the design direction of Alan Dawson is committed to producing innovative, high quality, bespoke metalworks of all types.

The company provides a full design, manufacture and installation service of bespoke architectural metalwork.

It has a large and well staffed design and drawing office and prefers to work closely with architects and designers from the start of a project.

The work is carried out in a recently extended modern workshop where traditional blacksmithing skills are practised and integrated with techniques made possible using modern plant and equipment.

Materials include iron, steel and stainless steel, brass, bronze, copper, vitreous enamels and glass.

Commissions for new, restoration and reproduction metalwork in contemporary styles range from £2000 to £2million. Commissioned pieces including sculptures and bespoke metalwork are undertaken for external innovative schemes, speciality shopping centres and office buildings.

Mall and street furniture - seating, telephone kiosks, railings, lighting, planters, litter bins and bollards... are produced in collaboration with architects, landscape architects and town planners. A number of competition winning, site specific schemes have been completed.

Gates and grilles are built in classical style for country estates and churches or in a contemporary style where they are individually designed to respond to particular buildings and environments. Hinging and locking systems have been developed in response to a variety of site conditions.
