INTRODUCING ARTISTEEL LTD

Our Story So Far

We are a family run company and are passionate about our business.

Etienne started his training in Strasbourg France. He was accepted into the prestigious school Association Des Compangnons Du Devoir where he did his apprenticeship.

Clare was a registered manager in social care for Cambridgeshire county council.

Des Compangnons Du Devoir is a French Organization of craftsmen and artisans dating back from the Middle Ages. Their traditional, technical education techniques include taking their Tour De France and being the apprentice of competent masters all around the world.
Following the completion of his tour, which included, Reims, Tours, Chartres, England, Marseille, and Muzion which is the international French school for blacksmiths. Etienne moved to Lille and taught apprentice blacksmiths for 2 years. Etienne moved to Cambridge to continue to grow the forging side of his employer’s business, resulting in a large commission for one of the Cambridge Colleges. ​

​

In January 2013, Etienne broke his neck in a car accident and then 14 months later, together we started Artisteel Ltd. We believe this shows a little of his determination to forge ahead in all aspects of his life.

In August 2018 we expanded, buying out our friends company Andrew Klose engineering, making our business even more flexible to a broader range of clients.

Etienne has had the best training in the world and is extremely passionate about what he does, a perfectionist and a master craftsman you can be assured of the highest quality in everything that we create.

This means we can now provide other services some of which include, supply of steel work for new builds or extensions, general fabrication, for instance hundreds of tree guards to large farming estates right down to repairing a wheel barrow and anything in between.

We carry out on site welding, emergency repairs to keep your business running. Our agricultural side supports our farming community with ram repairs and the supply of new hydraulic hoses, to keep farming moving. , (we do not do repairs to old/damaged hoses) we can come to you in the middle of a field if necessary.
