Metallic Garden

Trusted for 10 years

You need to evolve over time to become something of a success, as you don't always get it right first time and Metallic Garden is no exception.Back in 1996 Gary Pickles & Bronwen Glazzard were known as 'Glazed Expressions'. This was due in part, to our production of stained glass work, including glazed, hand-built wooden cabinets, tiffany lamps, panels and jewellery. At this time, we also produced a range of art-clocks, which introduced copper as a medium to work with.It was in 1999 that we introduced our first copper water sculptures and at the time we were one of only a handful of producers of copper water features for the garden anywhere in the UK, launching our collection at the 'Gardeners World Live' show at the NEC. All of our designs were totally original and hand made with care and attention to detail in our small Yorkshire workshop.In 2004, following the garden theme, we made the decision to reinvent ourselves and our website went live for the very first time, showcasing many garden features and pieces of garden furniture. As we were to concentrate on products solely for the garden, we decided to stop the production of stained glass and the business name was changed, to the more appropriate 'Metallic Garden'. As the name implies, the majority of our products were to be garden features made from a whole host of metals, including, lead, bronze, copper and steel.Our range soon began to expand, to include the rusty iron plant supports and high quality metal garden benches. We also included products sourced from other manufacturers and specialists, taking what we thought would best compliment our own products, whilst trying to ensure quality and value for money.To date we remain a small family business, giving a personal and friendly service to all our customers. We try to be accessible at all times and resist being a 'click & buy' faceless entity. We are always happy to talk to all of our customers and try to treat them as we would expect to be treated ourselves.As of the 1st October 2011 due to commitments in other areas and the development of further unrelated businesses, the decision was taken to dissolve the working partnership. Bron & Gary still bounce ideas off each other though and involve each other in aspects of each other's creativity.2014 Metallic Garden continues as a brand and evolves constantly to the changing market. Always open to new ideas and products.
