Tadweld: Yorkshire firm aims to push revenue past £6m for first time after ‘successful’ year
Yorkshire-based Tadweld has said it is on track for its strongest year to date, as the company looks to push its annual revenue past £6m for the first time.
The Tadcaster-based steelwork manufacturing and coded welding specialist said that it was targeting a further 15 per cent growth in the year, in a move that would see the firm’s revenue exceed £6m for the first time in its history.
Tadweld also announced that it is currently looking to recruit for five new positions, with more set to become available later in the year.
It comes after what Tadweld described as a “successful” 2025.
Chris Houston, managing director at Tadweld, said: “2026 is an exciting year for the business following a busy and successful 2025.
“After a period of investment in ERP systems and adding manufacturing capacity, it’s exciting to be back investing in the team.
“It’s a tough environment for UK manufacturing at the moment, but it is credit to our fantastic team that customers are continuing to choose us as the steelwork solutions partner for their projects.”
As part of its growth plans, Tadweld said it would target expansion into new markets and product areas, including opportunities within the water sector and adjacent specialist applications such as AJAX road tanker access systems.
The company said it was also experiencing increased demand from the food and drink sector, where it supports manufacturers with precision steelwork, fabrication and bespoke access solutions.
Tadweld is currently recruiting for a new business development manager, business development executive and production manager positions, alongside wider plans to add up to 10 new roles during 2026.
The new positions will span across sales, design, operations and manufacturing.
Houston added: “We’ve made deliberate investments over the last couple of years to put the right foundations in place - from systems and space to skills and leadership.
“That means we’re now in a position to grow confidently, enter new markets and strengthen our presence in sectors such as food manufacturing and water treatment, while continuing to deliver the quality and reliability our customers expect.”
Tadweld was recently shortlisted for Manufacturer of the Year (under £10m) at the Insider Media Made in Yorkshire Awards 2026.
The awards ceremony will take place on Thursday 5 March 2026, bringing together manufacturers from across the region.
The company said the shortlisting “further underlines Tadweld’s transformation in recent years, as the business continues to invest in people, technology and capacity while navigating a challenging landscape for UK manufacturing.”
