Established in 1990, the business has continued to grow while maintaining the collaborative approach and customer focus that have underpinned its success. Today, TWF Structures employs more than 100 skilled professionals across engineering, detailing, fabrication, project management and site operations. By retaining these core disciplines in-house, the company is able to maintain close control over quality, programme and communication throughout every stage of a project.
The company’ s integrated service begins long before steel arrives on site. Experienced structural engineers and detailers work closely with architects, consulting engineers and principal contractors to develop efficient, buildable solutions that meet both programme and budget requirements. Early engagement enables potential construction challenges to be identified and resolved during the design phase, helping clients minimise risk while improving buildability and reducing programme uncertainty.
Once designs have been finalised, fabrication is undertaken at TWF Structures’ modern manufacturing facility in Lancashire. Continuous investment in plant and equipment has enabled the company to expand its production capacity while maintaining consistently high standards of precision. The introduction of a new automated cut-anddrill production line has increased manufacturing capability to in excess of 10,000 tonnes of structural steel annually, allowing the business to respond efficiently to increasingly large and technically demanding projects.
This manufacturing capability is complemented by experienced project management teams who coordinate procurement, fabrication, logistics and site erection. Maintaining this continuity throughout the delivery process enables TWF Structures to provide clients with a single point of responsibility, improving communication and ensuring programmes remain aligned from design through to installation.
The company’ s expertise extends across a broad range of sectors. Commercial office developments, industrial facilities, distribution centres, healthcare buildings, education projects, retail developments and residential schemes all form part of its growing portfolio. Each sector presents its own technical challenges, whether creating large clear-span industrial buildings, accommodating complex architectural forms or delivering steel packages within constrained urban environments. TWF Structures has developed the flexibility to adapt its approach to suit each project’ s individual requirements while maintaining consistent standards of quality and delivery.
Alongside conventional structural frames, the company has also developed expertise in delivering bespoke engineered steel solutions. This includes architecturally exposed structural steelwork, feature staircases, specialist support structures and emerging applications such as steel frames for padel court developments. As construction methods continue to evolve, the business remains focused on expanding its technical capability to meet changing market demands while supporting increasingly ambitious architectural designs.
Quality assurance sits at the centre of every project undertaken by TWF Structures. The company manufactures in accordance with current UKCA requirements and operates robust factory production control procedures that
