What Yorkshire Profiles does

Yorkshire Profiles Ltd is a family-owned specialist laser cutting and metal fabrication subcontractor based in Hessay, York, serving customers across the United Kingdom. Founded in 2001 originally as a water jet cutting business, the company transitioned to laser cutting in 2010 and now operates CNC laser cutting machinery (Amada F1 CO2 and fibre laser systems) on a 24/7 basis, processing a range of metallic materials including mild and stainless steel, aluminium, brass, copper, titanium, and specialty steels such as Hardox and Weldox. Its core offering combines laser cutting with downstream fabrication services (CNC folding, hole tapping, countersinking, welding, and deburring) and finishing treatments (galvanising, anodising, powder coating), with deburring included as standard in quoted prices.

The business is supported by a proprietary internal technology stack: HelixONE, an integrated platform covering HR, CRM, supplier management, enterprise asset management, total quality management, production planning, and accounting, hosted on Google Cloud Platform; and Vorin, a hybrid AI production planner that combines AI strategic reasoning with deterministic scheduling to optimise on-time delivery, machine utilisation, and bottlenecks. Industry 4.0 connectivity links equipment directly to the original manufacturer for remote monitoring and predictive maintenance, and on-site nitrogen generation (Nitrocube) removes dependency on delivered liquid nitrogen.

Yorkshire Profiles generates revenue on a transaction-fee, quote-based model: customers submit drawings (DXF, DWG, 3D models, PDFs, sketches) and receive custom quotations within a stated four working hours, with pricing driven by material grade, thickness, finish, quantity, and secondary processes. The go-to-market is sales-led and direct, with both B2B and B2C customers served through email/phone enquiries, an online quoting system for flat profile work, and online ordering. Served verticals span engineering, agriculture, automotive, defence, oil and gas, shipyard, machine manufacturing, healthcare, and hobbyist/individual customers, with named enterprise customers including Tokamak Energy. The business is ISO9001 certified, maintains full material traceability to BS EN 10204 3.1, and is accredited as a Living Wage Employer.
