Established in 1889 by Frederick Henry Brundle, the company was founded on careful product selection, keen prices, and excellent service \u2014 values that remain central to the business today. Now in its fifth generation of family ownership under Michael Brundle, F.H.Brundle is the UK's largest stockist of wrought iron components, welded wire mesh, and expanded and perforated metal, all available from stock for immediate delivery. The product range extends well beyond this, covering steel sections, stainless steel handrail and balustrade components, tube clamps and galvanised tube, industrial steel flooring, GRP and tactile flooring, gate hardware, CAME gate automation, sliding door gear, fencing and perimeter security, fixings and fastenings, and welding consumables. The company stocks over 11,000 products at any one time, maintaining 98%+ availability across its network of branches and national distribution centre, and distributes over 25,000 tonnes of product to more than 100,000 customers each year, with worldwide shipping available. F.H.Brundle operates branches in Rainham, Ilkeston, Southampton, Newton-le-Willows, Birmingham, Glasgow, and Newport, supported by a Midlands distribution hub and a fleet of over 70 vehicles, including 44-tonne articulated lorries that operate overnight to feed the branches, alongside smaller transit vans for deliveries to customers with restricted access. In-house design teams develop innovative own-brand products under names including Pro-Railing\u00ae, Fortitude\u2122, Rinato\u2122, Marano\u00ae, Liveconfigurator\u2122, and Warmagrip\u2122, addressing real fabrication and installation challenges for the trade.
