About Us

Frank H. Dale is a major structural steel fabricator that was founded in 1932 in the Herefordshire market town of Leominster.

We offer the complete “in house” steel design, detailing, fabrication, off site intumescent painting and erection of a diverse range of structures, from single and multi-span portal frames to high bay warehousing and multi storey post and beam type structures.

Our facility offers 10 acres of available storage space, allowing deliveries to arrive on site at the optimal time. Many of our clients choose to vest material and use our storage facility locking in price and availability ahead of the project starting.

Our diverse skills and ability to handle a large capacity of steel through the door has enabled us to work within most sectors including distribution, retail, commercial, education, leisure, health, MOD/MOJ and more recently, large data centres.

We have risen to become a major player in the steel industry over the last 90 years and are still owned by the Dale family. Something we are really proud of.
The buildings may have changed in that time but our core values and commitment to quality and service have not.

We operate from our original 525,000sqft site in Mill Street, Leominster

Our second facility at Owen Way has been equipped with the latest state of the art, automated technology. This recent acquisition has enabled us to increase our capacity and confirm ourselves as one of the most trusted and efficient fabricators in the industry, being able to design, fabricate and erect up to 24,000 tonnes of steel per year.

Despite all the latest technology and infrastructure, we owe our success to our highly skilled and committed workforce. We believe that a satisfied and motivated team can only give a better end product and therefore a happy client. This is the reason behind why we focus so heavily on career based training and retaining our people.

40% of our colleagues have been here for over 10 years, 50% of those have been here over 20 years and 10% over 30 years

Above all, what sets us apart is our core values that are at the heart of everything we do. We ensure that we operate under our mission statement of trust, honesty, understanding, quality and being a good neighbour in the community. Our repeat business statistic of over 90% demonstrates our commitment to these values.
