Four Decades of Forge History

Trevor and Gail Timmins established G.Gibson in 1985, initialising production with scutch combs and hammer wedges for Yorkshire masonry trades. Over forty years, the workshop expanded to integrate legendary British tool names into a single specialist manufacturing facility.

Today, our Garforth facility operates both production grinding lines and custom forge hearths, supplying heritage stone restoration projects, vocational masonry colleges, and industrial contractors across the UK.
