Innovation is at the heart of what we do. We continuously invest in the latest fabrication technologies to keep productivity high, lead times short, and operations cost-effective for our customers.
Our Amada Fibre Laser, paired with a 21-tonne autoloader, gives us outstanding capacity for both full fabrication projects and subcontracted work.
This automated setup runs 24/7, ensuring speed, consistency, and precision at scale.
With nearly six decades of experience in end-to-end sheet metal fabrication and specialist subcontracting, we serve clients across diverse sectors — including electronics, medical and healthcare instrumentation, audio, and automotive.
Our long-standing expertise means we understand the specific technical, quality, and regulatory demands of each industry we serve.
Our people are at the core of our success. We invest in them, train them, and retain them — ensuring a level of consistency and expertise that few can match.
Our Directors alone have over 120 years of combined service with Kempston Ltd. Each began on the workshop floor and worked their way up, developing a deep understanding of every process and every customer requirement.
Our technicians and metalworkers receive ongoing training on the latest technologies. Thanks to our culture of respect and development, staff turnover is exceptionally low — around 60% of our team have been with us for 10 to 30 years or more. That means our customers benefit from long-term relationships with skilled, engaged professionals who know their projects inside and out.
Our reputation is built on trust, reliability, and performance. That’s why around 90% of our business comes from repeat customers — clients who return to us time and again because they know we deliver quality results, on time and on budget.
We never stand still.
Continuous improvement drives every part of our business — from our people and processes to our environmental and ethical commitments.
We are proud to hold UKAS ISO 9001 (Quality) and ISO 14001 (Environment) ISO 45001 (Health & safety) certifications, and to be members of the British Safety Council.
We’re also active participants in the Chamber of Commerce, contributing to supporting the wider business community.
Our investment in advanced technologies has expanded not only the range of fabrication services we offer, but also our output capacity — all while keeping costs competitive for our customers.
At the same time, we remain highly flexible:
We can deliver end-to-end fabrication, or take on subcontracted processes.
We can source materials using our strong buying power, or work with materials you provide.
We can deliver finished components nationwide using our own low-emission vehicle, or you can collect directly from our Bedford facility — whichever suits your schedule best.
At Kempston Ltd, we combine technology, craftsmanship, and commitment to deliver sheet metal the quality way — every time.
