Big news this week - Spiral UK is now Employee Owned!

Our team had a great day at Via Ferrata for the Business Challenge 2025!

Last week we celebrated, which in our sector, is something we don't do enough of, as we are always busy "making stuff".

40 years ago, In the week that Live Aid rocked the world and changed things forever, something else happened. In the small village of St Keverne in the far west of Cornwall, Spiral Construction Ltd, now Spiral UK, started life. That's Eric in the black and white photo, wearing a boiler suit and with a bad 1980s New Romantic hairstyle, together with his dad Buzz and Neil Symons, our first employee.
The stair in the photo, the first one we made, is still standing at Roskilly's Ice Cream HQ, after a couple of moves in between, testament to the quality of what we produced in the early days and still do.

We would never have dreamed that the journey would take us to were we are today, from a little team making a few concrete staircases to designing, manufacturing and installing incredible feature stairs in some of the most iconic buildings in the UK. Our stairs have gone into the Royal Albert Hall, the London Palladium and the O2, appeared on Grand Designs, and been delivered to all corners of the UK and the world.

Being a business isn't about the name, buildings or machinery, it is about the people. At Spiral we have built an incredible team, with over 400, YES 400, combined years of service. Some have spent their entire working lives with us, constantly learning and growing. On such an occasion we felt it was appropriate to recognise this, and we presented long service awards to many of the team. A HUGE thank you to you all.

It hasn't always been easy. As well as sharing the happy memories and hilarious stories, we reflected as well on the tough times, I think seven recessions, the financial crash of 2008, Covid, customers going bust, stairs that didn't fit and much more. Manufacturing isn't easy, but we all love it and tht's what we get up for every morning. Making stairs has taken me to some amazing places, and we I have met so many incredible people with some becoming friends for life.

Here's to the next 40 years!

This spiral staircase was designed to be simple and elegant in white and wood, with the detailed balustrade adding fabulous drama that continues along the front of the mezzanine floor.

Open risers, open balustrade and an emphasis on vertical lines contrasting with the horizontal lines of the treads, all working together to emphasise the feeling of open space, rather than the staircase taking space away and making the area feel smaller.

Another wonderful example of how simple designs can be hugely impactful! This helical staircase utilises block colour timber treads with minimalist steel hand rail and vertical balustrade against a bright white wall for maximum drama with total simplicity.

The modern timber treads of this spiral staircase are highlighted beautifully by cleverly hidden integrated lighting - a simple but effective way to add some interest, warmth, and literal light to an otherwise minimalist design.

A truly stunning effect was created here with the use of simple, natural timber in a soft finish with matching hand rail, and a glass balustrade which doesn't detract any attention from the beauty of the natural timber and clean, classic lines of the helical staircase.

Every staircase that we create is designed to look beautiful from all angles! This installation makes the most of that with a wall of mirrors to show off the elegance of the spiral staircase from two viewpoints at once - with the white external finish of the solid balustrade blending into the space, the darker internal part of the staircase takes centre stage.

Warm white lighting strategically placed behind the open risers of this stone cantilevered staircase creates a wonderful glow further enhanced by the reflections created by the highly polished finish of the treads.
