AN EXTENSIVE
PRODUCT PORTFOLIO
AND COMPREHENSIVE
SERVICE OFFERING
Originally established in 1992, Bradbury Group has since
flourished into the UK’s largest manufacturer of physical
security products, including steel doors, grilles and cages.
Over the years, the
Group has worked to
secure infrastructure
within an array of sectors,
including utilities, water,
public, social housing,
telecommunications, retail,
stadia, transport, and more.
Among its more renowned
clients have been McDon-
ald’s, Wickes, O2, Anglian
Water, and SSE, but the
Group has come to sup-
port clients of all shapes
and sizes from across
the corporate landscape
throughout the two and a
half decades it has been in
business.
Today Bradbury Group
comprises of four subsid-
iaries: Bradbury Security,
Martin Roberts, Liddle
Doors, and Newton Secu-
rity Doors. Each division
has its own products and
capabilities that contrib-
utes towards the Group’s
extensive product portfolio
and comprehensive service
offering.
Of this vast offering,
Bradbury Group is best-
known for producing an
extensive series of be-
spoke-engineered steel
doors. However, the Group
also manufactures and
supplies communal en-
trances, kiosks, cages, bar
sets, cylinder clamps and
bottle frames, and other
solutions.
Thanks to the expertise
of its teams within its mem-
ber companies, the Group
is also able to offer a ful-
ly-coordinated service from
survey and design to deliv-
ery or installation, both na-
tionally and internationally,
as well as project manage-
ment services.
This year, the Group
relocated to a 135,000 sq.
ft. production facility in
North Lincolnshire. The
headquarters manufactures
the steel doors for Group
subsidiaries Bradbury Se-
curity and Martin Roberts.
Over £8million has been
invested into the facility
within the past two years,
including a considerable
amount spent on state-
of-the-art machinery. This
impressive facility also has
an expansive warehouse
that can store up to 4000
door-sets.
With improved capabili-
ty and increased capacity,
Bradbury Group is now
capable of manufacturing a
door-set in just four hours,
and has the ability to
produce 100 door-sets per
eight-hour shift. Stream-
lined production processes
and advanced machinery
enables the Group to offer
a made to measure steel
door which is manufac-
tured in just three working
days; the shortest lead time
in the industry.
This latest development
will help Bradbury Group
to grow even further and
enhance its already impres-
sive success in the physical
security products market.
Over the past decade, the
Group has seen a five-fold
increase in turnover, and
looking ahead it is expected
to see a predicted growth of
around 20% per year, from
over £15million to £40mil-
lion in the next five years.
Liddle Doors has been a
trusted provider of security
doors and associated secu-
rity products to the utilities
sector for over 40 years,
supplying to several water,
telecoms and power distri-
bution companies, including
notable names such as An-
glian Water, Network Rail,
O2, and National Grid.
Their insight and exper-
tise are highly valued within
the sector, as reflected by
the key role they play in
delivering security solutions
that align with the Security
and Emergency Measures
Direction (SEMD).
Bradbury Group and Lid-
dle Doors have successfully
worked together in a joint
venture for the last couple
of years, so the news that
Liddle Doors joined Brad-
bury Group earlier in ther
year, for many was the next
logical step, commercially
for both brands, as they
expand their operations.
Bradbury Group’s mass
manufacturing power,
scale and delivery capac-
ity, combined with Liddle
Doors’ renowned expertise
in the end-to-end manage-
ment of projects within the
utilities sector, will pro-
vide a compelling offer of
specialist expertise to their
customers. The addition of
Liddle Doors to Bradbury
Group adds a range of new
products and services to the
complete security solution
package that each division
in the Group is able to offer.
These include LPS 1175 SR3
and SR4 kiosks, cages and
bar sets, hatch covers, bottle
clamps, anti-climb solutions,
and associated civil works.
Ultimately, the vision of
this dynamic Group is to
establish Bradbury Group
as a world-class provider of
physical security solutions.
As well as its ambition of
going global, the Group is
also keen to be recognised
as a notable business and
employer within the North
Lincolnshire area. With over
200 employees, the Group is
proud to employ an almost
entirely regional workforce.
Since its relocation to a
larger premises the Group’s
workforce has grown
dramatically, and the aim
moving forward is to create
more new jobs as the Group
continues to expand and
support even more clients.
