THE STORY BEHIND DJM SHEET METAL 🔧🧡
Every business has a story… this is ours.
Dave grew up in the sheet metal industry, working his way through different shops before joining his dad at just 17 years old. That’s where the foundations of his knowledge, work ethic, and passion for the trade really began.
Then in 2007, he met Katie.
Katie’s path was completely different – starting out in the beauty industry, but always having that drive to try new things. From buying and selling horses to running her own dog walking business, she’s always had that entrepreneurial mindset.
Years later, when the original owners of DJM decided to move back to Scotland, Dave and Katie saw an opportunity… and took it.
They bought DJM Sheet Metal – and haven’t looked back since. Despite what some might think, it wasn’t handed to them on a plate; it was fully paid for, a real investment and a big commitment. From day one, they took that risk and built it into what it is today.
Over the last four years, we’ve completely transformed the business. Pushing it forward, modernising it, and growing it into what it is today – busier than ever.
From starting with just one small pickup…
To now running multiple large vans travelling the full length of the UK – from the top of Scotland right down to London.
We’ve taken on huge projects, including:
🏗️ Major works on the Deansgate Hotel manchester
🏭 The PLouise store at Trafford
🚂 A brand-new WWII train cab for a museum in York
We’ve said goodbye to some clients along the way, but also welcomed a huge number of new ones – and we’re incredibly grateful for every single bit of support.
This journey hasn’t been easy… but it’s been worth it.
We genuinely can’t thank you all enough for backing DJM.
Here’s to continuing to grow, build, and push forward 🚀
