Touchline Fabrications was founded by Stephen Hardacre in 1984.
The company began by building touchline dugouts for local football pitches, inspired by Steve’s love for football. The name “Touchline” reflects this original focus.
From its modest beginnings in a small rented unit on Redscar Estate, the business has grown significantly, eventually purchasing a plot of land in 2005 to establish a purpose-built workshop and yard.
Initially focusing on small-scale projects like touchline dugouts, fencing, gates, and railings, Touchline Fabrications has expanded to take on larger, more complex industrial and corporate projects.
Our services now include comprehensive metalwork packages, integrating structural steel projects with decorative metal finishes, metal cladding, decking and metal floors.
We excel in unique, intricate projects that require detailed project management from start to finish.
The future of Touchline Fabrications is shaped by our commitment to the Employee Ownership Trust (EOT) model, which aligns the goals of our employees with the success of the company.
This structure ensures that as Touchline Fabrications grows and succeeds, so do our team members. Our future is focused on continued growth and innovation, leveraging the collective expertise and dedication of our workforce.
