ESTABLISHED SINCE 1934
ATKIN TRADE SPECIALISTS HAVE A REPUTATION FOR METFRAME SYSTEMS, DELIVERING ON TIME AND WITHIN BUDGET 
Reginald Atkin founded the Atkin family business in 1934, where they started life trading in Liverpool and Chester under the name of Plasterers (Liverpool and Chester) Limited. They moved to Cardiff just after the Second World War and have evolved over the years to be at the forefront of the construction industry.
Steel framing was introduced into this country from America to answer the demand for fast, efficient, cost effective construction. The high strength-to-weight ratio of lightweight steel sections enables simple techniques to be used to provide cost efficient structural solutions to most construction projects. Speed of work has always played an important part in the company’s philosophy and we are committed to keeping ahead with advanced building technology.
The trends are all towards fast track building projects. As a result, we envisage more developers looking at steel frame construction as a way of reducing build times and finding flexible solutions for a diverse range of building projects.
Robert Atkin, Managing Director
