Manufacturing
When manufacturing lines stop, costs soar. We provide rapid response machining for factory infrastructure, creating bespoke components, fasteners, and safety guards to replace worn parts and eliminate long lead times.

Owner, UK Timber Specialist
“We have a wonderful relationship with Hickman Engineering and especially Shaun & Garrick. We have total trust in them and that they really care about us.
Only the lads know our gear and its quirks. An outsider would almost certainly run into problems or dead ends. We are very pleased that the work was done so efficiently, cleanly and we are back up to full capacity with no closure required. Perfect!
Without a doubt, we would recommend Hickman Engineering. Their slogan is ‘we never shy away’ and this is very apt and true.”
