Halman Thompson celebrates five years of rapid global growth with ambitious plans to scale operations and create new jobs in 2026.
Bespoke metal design specialist Halman Thompson is celebrating a significant milestone this year as it marks its fifth anniversary. In that short period of time, they have seen rapid international growth, industry-leading customer satisfaction, and a series of high-profile partnerships and projects across the interiors and hospitality sectors.
Since launching in 2020, the North East-based company has evolved into a global supplier of premium brass, copper and aged-metal products. Halman Thompson now ships worldwide, serving designers, architects, hoteliers and homeowners seeking bespoke metal finishes for kitchens, commercial spaces and one-off projects.
The business has also earned an excellent reputation for customer experience, reflected in its outstanding Trustpilot rating (4.7/5) and consistently positive Google Reviews (4.8/5), highlighting the brand’s quality craftsmanship, reliability and personal service.
Further cementing its position as a premium partner in the design world, Halman Thompson is now working with renowned kitchen specialists Smallbone and Mowlem & Co. The company’s bespoke metal splashbacks are currently featured in their UK showrooms, showcasing the versatility and elegance of its handcrafted finishes.
Looking ahead, Halman Thompson has announced plans for a significant investment in its North East operations. In 2026, the company will begin construction of a new warehouse and showroom at its Newburn site, a development set to create ten new jobs for the region.
Halman Thompson’s growth is also reflected in the calibre and creativity of its recent commissions. Key projects include:
A custom brass table top crafted in the brand’s signature Berkshire Bronzed finish. Designed to exact dimensions, the piece integrates seamlessly into Olive & Barr’s premium kitchen aesthetic, adding warmth and depth to their interior palette.
Halman Thompson supplied fully bespoke brass cladding for the hotel’s reception area, producing a bold, high-end visual centrepiece. Each panel was precision-made to complement the architectural layout and finished to achieve a rich, polished tone.
A dramatic aged-copper installation created to clad an entire feature wall and surrounding kitchen areas. A matte finish with subtle verdigris flecks achieved a continuous, hand-aged patina across multiple pieces, adding character and warmth to the space, including a distinctive aged-metal wine-rack feature.
Halman Thompson's fifth anniversary marks not just a milestone of survival, but a testament to its successful transition from a local start-up to a premium global supplier. With a proven commitment to quality, backed by excellent customer feedback and strategic partnerships, the planned North East expansion in 2026 solidifies the company’s trajectory as a leader in bespoke metal design.
