H.Young Structures

What H.Young Structures does

H.Young Structures Ltd is a UK structural steelwork subcontractor, wholly owned by H.Young & Co Ltd (a group with steelwork heritage dating to 1871; the H.Young Structures entity was established in 1977). The company operates from a single fabrication facility in Wymondham, Norfolk, and delivers design, fabrication, finishing, and on-site installation of structural steelwork for industrial, commercial, and bespoke construction projects across England. Project tonnages range from approximately 65t to 1,420t, with named customers spanning data centres (KAO Data, CNN DigiTech), self-storage (Shurgard, Storex), retail (Lidl, Marks & Spencer, Primark/H&M at Bluewater), healthcare (Norfolk and Norwich University Hospitals), education/research (UKAEA Culham), and leisure (David Lloyd Leisure).

The operating model is fully in-house across the project lifecycle. Estimating is done with Tekla Structures and STRUMIS; structural design uses Tekla Structural Designer, Fastrak, Masterseries, and Idea Statica; detailing is performed in Tekla Structures 3D with BIM integration; fabrication runs on Voortman CNC equipment (VB1050 bandsaw, V631-1050 drill/mill line, V550-7 punch and crop, VSB-1500-4 shot blaster) connected via Voortman MSI and governed by VACAM NC-driven nesting and production tracking. Finishing includes in-house shot-blasting to SA2.5, paint application to BS 5493 with Sherwin Williams coatings, with external hot-dip galvanising and intumescent fire protection; installation is delivered with SSSTS/SMSTS-supervised site erection. The factory holds a Factory Production Control system enabling UKCA marking across EXC1-EXC4, and the company maintains ISO 9001, 14001, 45001, Constructionline Gold, BCSA Sustainability Charter Silver, and Supply Chain Sustainability School Gold credentials.

Commercial model is project-based, one-time revenue priced on steel tonnage, complexity, and scope, with quotations prepared by experienced estimators from specifications, drawings, BIM models, and Bills of Quantities. GTM is enterprise field sales to main contractors, developers, and Design & Build clients, with proactive engagement during early-stage development discussions to deliver value-engineered solutions. Marketing is predominantly reputation-driven via the company website, project portfolio, and trade association memberships (BCSA, SCI, IStructE, MAKE UK). Revenue is not publicly disclosed.
