About Us

The company was founded as Fielden and Sons Ltd by brothers Ross and Norm Fielden in 1963. They were early adopters of leading manufacturing technology, purchasing a Murata C1000 CNC turret punch in the early 1980's. They built an excellent reputation for service, value and high quality sheet metal components.

Nigel Maxey took the helm of the business in 2006, now trading as Fielden Metalworks. He brings a strong mechanical engineering design and project management focus to the business and remains involved with day-to-day operations.

Jackson Sheet Metal Ltd was established in 1978 by Ken & Pam Jackson and built a name for quality workmanship with metal manufacture and the processing of perforated metal sheet & coil, a perfect compliment to the services of Fielden Metalworks.

Nigel acquired Jackson Sheet Metal in late 2016 merging it with Fielden Metalworks. This consolidation saw the JSM team relocating to the expanded Fielden Metalworks site in early 2019, further strengthening the company's capabilities.

Using methods like laser cutting, turret punching, guillotining, routing, and sawing - we turn raw sheet and section materials into something ready to form. Our skilled team works their magic with presses, panel folders, power presses, and some good old manual techniques, to make formed components - paying attention to every little detail. Then it's welding, insert pressing, riveting, or screwing, we employ the necessary techniques to make your product ready to be a finished creation.

Once we're done forming & fabricating, we finish things off with in-house powder coating and assembly, keeping a quality focus all the way. And our design engineers plus sheetmetal technicians are always tweaking things to make sure we're using the best manufacturing methods available. Packaging and delivery is the critical final step that we undertake to get the product safely to where it needs to be.

Our team is a skilled and versatile bunch, with expertise in all areas of metal manufacturing. We're all about delivering top quality and meeting your deadlines.

As engineering professionals with strong design and manufacturing expertise, we relish the opportunity to tackle new product design challenges, delivering smart solutions for our customers.
