Our History

The Bird family has been operating in stainless-steel since the late 1950s and the business today is still family owned. Stainless-steel runs through the Bird family like “wording through a stick of rock” and knowledge and skills have been passed down the generations. The current owner and also Managing Director is Nigel Bird. He has spent his entire working life in stainless-steel and his son Harry, and daughter Ellie, have both followed him into the family business.



Bird Stainless has been on its current site in Penistone near Sheffield since the 1970’s, but originally it was located in the centre of Sheffield, so has all the heritage of the “Home of Steel”, where there have been metalworkers since the 1300’s.
