G.Fitzsimmons and Son

What G.Fitzsimmons and Son does

G.Fitzsimmons and Son is a Scottish steel fabrication and metalwork company that designs, manufactures, and installs structural steel, stainless steel, architectural features, gates, fences, commercial fencing, and bespoke commissions. Founded in the early 1980s by Grant Fitzsimmons as a local blacksmith service, the company relocated in 1998 to its current workshop premises in Rosewell, Midlothian, from which it has scaled into a full-service fabrication operation serving both commercial and residential customers across the UK.

The company operates a conventional off-site workshop manufacturing model. All fabrication drawings are produced by an in-house design team using Computer Aided Drawing (CAD) tools, and components are cut using CNC plasma plate cutting equipment — enabling both structural steelwork and detailed decorative or custom architectural elements. All welding is performed by fully qualified tradesmen working to EN1090 CE factory production control class 2 standards, a regulatory benchmark for load-bearing structural steel in the UK market. The technical stack is otherwise traditional industrial; there is no evidence of software products, AI capabilities, or digital platforms.

Revenue is generated on a project-by-project, quote-based model through direct sales — primarily website contact forms, phone inquiries, and inbound quote requests. Customers span commercial contractors, individual homeowners, architects and designers, sports clubs, heritage trusts, hospitality operators, and financial institutions. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and all engagements begin with a custom quote. The company is a privately held Scottish limited company (registration SC366205), with no external investors, parent entity, or public listing identified in available information.
