Thomas Panels & Profiles: From Farm Shed to Leading UK Steel Manufacturer
Thomas Panels & Profiles, established from a single cladding order in the 1980s, has grown to become a major player in the UK steel roofing and cladding market. The company now employs over 150 individuals and supplies over 25,000 tonnes of products annually, leveraging modern manufacturing practices.

Thomas Panels & Profiles, originally founded by Evan Thomas in the 1980s, has evolved into a prominent independent steel manufacturer in the UK, producing over 25,000 tonnes annually. The company operates from two facilities in Leominster and employs more than 150 staff members.
After transitioning to a dedicated production facility in the early 2000s, the firm shifted from reselling to manufacturing its own products. Under the leadership of George Thomas, the business has achieved a fivefold increase in turnover and invested significantly in new technologies, enhancing its product range.
The firm supports a diverse customer base, including agricultural, industrial, and domestic sectors across England and Wales. Modern manufacturing and automation techniques, along with sustainable practices such as solar energy utilization, have improved operational efficiency.
