Steel bending experts celebrate 75th anniversary

Tipton-based Angle Ring is celebrating its 75th anniversary, marking a major milestone for one of the UK’s leading steel bending specialists.

Founded in 1951 by Frank Barnshaw, the company today supports fabricators, architects, steelwork contractors and civil engineers across the UK and abroad.

The company’s specialist bending capabilities have seen it contribute to projects of all shapes, sizes and sectors, from major infrastructure and architectural steelwork to creative and one-of-a-kind commissions.

This range is reflected in projects such as the Waterside Footbridge over the River Trent in Nottingham, where Angle Ring supplied complex curved steel sections for the first new bridge built across the river in more than 60 years.

Daniel Barnshaw, Managing Director of Angle Ring and grandson of the company’s founder, said: “Reaching 75 years in business is an incredibly proud moment for everyone connected with Angle Ring.

“This milestone is not just about looking back at what we have achieved, but recognising the people, customers, suppliers and local community who have helped shape the business over the last seven and a half decades.”
