Manufacturing firm boss sets up new metal business

The owner of a full service sheet metalwork manufacturer has utilised his industry knowledge and experience to set up Fresh Metal – a new firm manufacturing design-led metal products.

The brainchild of Charles Corner, managing director of Malton Laser, Fresh Metal will combine Corners’ experience in fabricating a host of different metals with his passion for engineering innovative products to offer a number of bespoke, high-end metal items to a variety of markets.

Operating from a 6,000 sq ft unit in Pocklington, East Yorkshire, Corner will work closely with his operations manager to manufacture a diverse range of premium, upmarket metal products.

The first product range by Fresh Metal is currently in development and is being designed specifically for architects and interior designers.

Corner said: “Having spearheaded a successful metal fabrication business for almost 20 years, I have built-up extensive experience working in the metal industry.

“Utilising these skills and familiarity in working with different metals, I’ve set up Fresh Metal with the ambition of offering a host of industry-leading items that are not only functional, but stylish too. Thanks to the use of revolutionary metal fabrication equipment, Fresh Metal will provide an efficient, precise service to wide ranging target audiences and markets.”

As well as heading-up Malton Laser, Corner has also recently completed the prestigious Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses Training Programme, which has armed him with the tools needed to assist in driving Fresh Metal forward.
