Tadweld on track for ‘best year yet’ with £6 million revenue target and ambitious growth plans
Yorkshire-based steelwork manufacturing and coded welding specialist Tadweld is on track for its strongest year to date, targeting a further 15% growth that would see annual revenue exceed £6 million for the first time in the company’s history.
Following a highly successful 2025, the Tadcaster-headquartered business entered 2026 with strong momentum across its core markets and a clear strategy for expansion.
Building on recent investment in systems, people and manufacturing capacity, Tadweld is now accelerating growth through new market opportunities, deeper sector focus and continued recruitment.
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. We’re currently recruiting for five new positions and there will be more coming on board later in the year.
“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 is targeting 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 is also experiencing increased demand from the food and drink sector, where it continues to support major manufacturers with precision steelwork, fabrication and bespoke access solutions.
Tadweld is actively 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. These new positions will span across sales, design, operations and manufacturing to support the company’s commitment to sustainable, well-supported growth.
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.”
Reflecting its strong performance and reputation within the region’s manufacturing sector, Tadweld has also been 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 5th March 2026, bringing together leading manufacturers from across the region.
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.
Having welcomed its 50th team member last year, alongside a clear strategic direction and continued investment in its workforce, Tadweld is confidently positioned to deliver its most successful year to date in 2026.
