This is a close knit team who are used to working together and whose individual skills have been honed to complement each other. The Team, which also includes specialist joiners, welders and Bricklayers, is run by a small management group who have extensive and wide ranging experience of the Refractory Installation Market.

When not involved in Installation Projects the primary Installation Team are seconded to materials manufacture. This system has played a major part in the parallel development of new monolithic materials and installation technology. The Sheffield Refractories Manufacturing, Installation and Technical teams genuinely function as a Single Unit. The company actively encourages the situation where a Shotcrete Nozzle or Pump Operator has manufactured the product he is installing.
