G & D Enterprises

What G & D Enterprises does

G & D Enterprises Ltd is a family-run bespoke steel fabrication business headquartered in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire. Founded in 2000 and owned by Managing Director Gregory Collier and Company Secretary Denise Collier, the company designs, manufactures, and installs steel products including barriers (car park and motorbike exclusion), security fencing, bollards (standard and demountable), security doors, gates, canopies and shelters, street furniture (benches, bins, picnic tables, knee rails), and heritage refurbishment components such as handrails, balustrades, and decorative brackets. It also operates a sister hand-sanitiser dispenser line under the OneStep brand.

The company’s technical platform centres on an HD CNC Flat Bed Plasma Cutter capable of cutting mild steel from 0.6–25mm and stainless steel up to 12mm, supplemented by CNC Press Brake forming, an in-house CAD department with annual software subscriptions, and supporting welding, fabrication, punching, and assembly workflows. The business holds CHAS and Construction Line accreditation, and its security doors carry West Yorkshire Police Crime Prevention Unit and Fire Brigade approval, credentials that are prerequisites for bidding on UK public-sector work.

G & D Enterprises operates a sales-led, quote-based go-to-market model targeting local authorities, schools, healthcare providers, heritage sites, architects, civil engineering firms, and individual designers primarily across West Yorkshire and the wider Yorkshire and the Humber region. Revenue is generated through one-off bespoke product sales bundled with installation services, plus engineering and high-volume production runs for partners such as Salamon Enterprises Ltd. The company has no disclosed public funding, is bootstrapped, and reports no public revenue figures; it markets through its website, social sharing, an extensive case-study portfolio, and direct project engagement.
