Hello, we’re Black Country Metal Works. We love slow afternoons out in the garden, cosy evenings cuddled up by the fireplace and all things homeware. We’re also massive fans of a spot of home and garden DIY. Welcome to our world; let’s get to know each other…
A FAMILY-RUN BUSINESS TO THE CORE
Because this is what really makes Black Country Metal Works different. We’re talking 30+ years of e-commerce and retail business experience, plus another 50 years in the metalworking trade alone. What began as a ‘spark’ of an idea by Chairman, Clive Knowles, many years ago has slowly evolved into our very own corner of the industry. A corner that we are so proud to have put our stamp on.
Today, our ‘little’ business lies amongst the rolling hills of Shropshire, where three generations of the Knowles family work together alongside a small (but very enthusiastic) team of passionate people. We love being creative, we love sparking new ideas and above all else, we love sharing our knowledge with all of you.

A PILLAR OF QUALITY
We’ve always seen ‘quality’ as the key pillar behind our business; meaning high-quality products, expert industry knowledge and brilliant customer care every step of the way. For us, it’s never just about the ‘product’. It’s also about building a community and helping to make your house a home.

IT’S THE LITTLE THINGS
As with most things, it truly is all in the detail. Whilst we’d love to source and create everything here in Shropshire, we also value the incredible creativity of artisans from all across the world. This does mean that some products and components are sourced ethically from elsewhere. We work very closely with the best of the best to ensure our ‘quality’-focused attitude is always kept in mind. This also allows us to continue creating and selling beautiful metal work products, at affordable prices, without ever compromising on our very high standards.
Many of our products, or elements of, are carefully handcrafted by experts in the metalworking field. The tradition behind the craft is really important to us, which is why we love offering personalisation and hand-finished options to many of our collections. However, sometimes this does mean a slightly longer wait time, but we think it’s worth it for something extra extra special…
