Constant Group
We're a British single source solution for sheet metal fabrication including our founding company, Constant Engineering. Constant Engineering manufactures architectural ironmongery products, everything from kick plates and signage to ventilators. Constant Manufacturing is a full service solution of precision sheet metal fabrications including design, fabrication, machining, assembly and finishing.

LED lighting solutions for industrial & commercial applications, specialising in warehouse and office situations. In 1969, Harry Garlick was told he 'didn't have enough money to buy a fish and chip shop', let alone an aluminium trading company. Harry proved them wrong and Constant Aluminium Supplies Ltd was formed on Greenhalgh Street off Oldham Road in 1970.
Services
The UK's premier manufacturer of kick plates, push plates, fire action discs and signage, celebrating 40 years trading in 2017. Constant Engineering can manufacture door protection plates and signage from a range of materials including stainless steel through to specialist IBMA.

Using traditional skills and tools, alongside leading CNC machinery, Constant Engineering are the supplier of choice for trade suppliers of door signage and protection plates.Supplying plates to high-street restaurants to large office blocks means the average person has come into contact with one of our ironmongery products over the average week.
Constant began doing business under conventional lighting systems of fluorescent tubes and metal halides for many years, but realised introducing efficient LED lighting into office space and factory floors was a better alternative.

However, while larger buildings and new builds often benefit from an integrated approach of consultants and designers to optimise lighting systems, we noticed this wasn't the case for between large and small buildings; often relying on third-party information through their electrician and leading to sub-optimal lighting solutions.
Constant Manufacturing was established to meet the demands of customer looking for precision sheet metal fabricated parts and products. Boasting a suite of CNC punch machines, a CNC laser cutter and multiple press brakes, the company can manufacture a range of parts from shop shelving brackets through to fully assembled interactive POS retail displays.
Month on month we were asked to manufacture planters and troughs for landscapers through our manufacturing division, which naturally turned itself into a business, affectionately called Funky Plant Pots. Primarily the business services landscapers, architects and businesses wanting quality metal planters for a garden project, forecourt, foyer or roof terrace.
Our brand started with the Tuffbox Original: We wanted an affordable metal toolbox to keep our hand tools and electric tools secure on our shop floor, so decided to design our own! Realising this simple secure box would be useful for other manufacturing companies and sites, Tuffboxes was born.

10 years down the line, it's grown from a simple secure box for tradesmen to mobile hairdressers using the Limited Edition Pink Tuffbox Micro in their cars to keep their prized equipment safe.We're delighted to see time-and-time again construction sites installing Tuffbox Monsters to keep tools and safety gear secure through to the general public installing Tuffboxes in sheds and outhouses to warn off thieves.

Really poor work place one of the worst places I have worked. I explained to my supervisor and the manager that I didn’t get the role or shift I was promised. There excuses was the over workers don’t speak English so how can I be taught? They have a bunch of foreign dudes on that are un-professional and make it impossible to mingle. I explained how my mental health was affected due to the poor job I was doing and the way I was being treated but since I was local I tried to stick it out. They made me work in the warehouse on nights with the door not aloud to be shut. Was below freezing temps

I have worked at Constant Group for the past 2 years since the beginning of my apprenticeship in 2018. I have always found working here has been extremely beneficial to my studies and my working experience to date. Matt has always supported me in my tenure here by ensuring I have the available PPE and equipment necessary to carry out my duties as a Welder/Fabricator. He is a great boss to work for. Dave has made sure my College studies adjacent with work have ran smoothly and effectively to make sure I am going to pass my apprenticeship with flying colours. Again I am extremely thankful to them

A truly fantastic company to work for. I throughly enjoyed my time at Constant, filled with learning and growing within the business. I am grateful to all my boss and colleagues in who had contributed in my journey. I am able to grow professionally and this wouldn't have been possible without everyones support.
Established over 50 years ago, I hope to see the company go from strength to strength as it achieves all its goals. I can’t commend the business enough, a truly talented team and fantastic family environment and the best superior I ever had.

I used to work for this company........Health and safety was a joke!! I sliced my thumb open while deburring a steel kick plate which when Richard the owner eventually took me to hospital the vein needed tying in a knot to stop the bleeding and then stitching up.....They supplied us with basically garden gloves....When we'd punched out 8x4 sheet steel the razor sharp excess would be crushed by foot and put into a big scrap bin....The younger lads would jump into the bin to compress the scrap down so as to make more room in the scrap bin.....I used to think one of these days someone's gonna slice

I used Constant for a bespoke commission for a bright polished stainless steel table for my house. They have a great design department that really helped me realise my vision and the finished product is absolutely amazing. I would highly recommend!
