John Pomfrey began Pomfrey Metal Fabrications in 1991, taking over a workshop on the very edge of the Sussex coast. Over the years the business grew and evolved two arms: PMF Designs - creating furniture and other bespoke metalwork pieces; and PMF Metalwork - focussing on engineering and metalwork fabrication. John was apprenticed at the Phoenix Ironworks in Lewes, and worked on a wide range of both large and small engineering projects throughout his career. His son Matthew began working with him in 2002, and between them they have created a thriving business which meets the needs of a huge variety of clients.
Perhaps you are looking for an elegant and unusual glass coffee table? The warmth of real wood and the cool sophistication of brushed stainless steel has made Argentia, pictured here, one of our most-requested pieces. Alternatively Argentia can be made from mild steel and finished in one of our powdercoat colours including bronze, pewter etc. to suit your decor. We can also make hall tables to your specifications, in both contemporary and traditional styles. Please accept our thanks for all your hard work and for putting in so many extra hours to get our panels done in time and with faultless quality.
