Proof that Rob works hard on a weekend too...

Look out Cavendish, move over Hoy, we’ve got Rob Brown!
Arguably the fastest person on two wheels in our business, we’d all like to pass on our congratulations to Rob, who completed the ridiculously hard Fred Whitton challenge last week, with his friends from @teesdale_crc
Rob completed the 112 mile course, with 12000ft of climbing in an official time of 7hours 44minutes, which is an improvement of nearly 30minutes on his 2018 time, despite having had a child and no sleep in those 5 years!
Well done Rob, from all of us at S&A Fabrications
We’re proud to announce that S&A Fabrications has officially broken ground on a brand-new £7 million hangar development for Draken UK at Teesside International Airport .
We’re proud to share that S&A Fabrications Ltd has received national recognition at the RIDBA Building Awards 2025 , winning the Livestock Building of the Year Award for our innovative work on the Kynren Aviary Project near Bishop Auckland.
We’re delighted to announce that two of our recent projects have been shortlisted for the RIDBA Building Awards 2025 —a national event that recognises the very best in rural and industrial buildings across the UK.
At S&A Fabrications, we’ve been building Roundhouses for years—mainly for livestock, feed storage, or agricultural machinery. But every now and then, a project comes along that takes us in a completely new direction. That’s exactly what happened when the team from Kynren approached us with an unusual brief: to create custom Roundhouses to house birds of prey for their upcoming live outdoor show.

S&A has commenced Construction of Hydrogen Refuelling Station at Teesside International Airport
We're thrilled to welcome Jamie and Bertie to the S&A sales team! They’re bringing loads of experience, fresh energy, and big ambitions to the table – we can’t wait to see what they’ll achieve.
S&A Fabrications were thrilled to attend the opening of Airbourne Colour’s cutting-edge hangar at Teesside International Airport. The grand event was attended by over 200 guests, including key business leaders and regional stakeholders, celebrating this significant achievement for both the aviation industry and the local economy.
At S&A Fabrications, we have recently transitioned our factory workers to a 4-day working week, a strategic move that has led to remarkable improvements in both productivity and employee satisfaction.
In the realm of construction, ensuring the safety and security of structures is paramount. From residential buildings to commercial complexes, every edifice needs robust fire protection measures in place to safeguard lives and property. At S&A Fabrications, we take this responsibility seriously, constantly exploring innovative solutions to elevate construction standards. In our latest project - a farm shop - the application of intumescent paint to the internal steel structure marks a significant stride towards enhancing fire safety.
