Varley and Gulliver have been the UK’s premier manufacturer of both steel and aluminium bridge parapets to the civil engineering industry for over 35 years
The company was started shortly after the First World War, with the main business based around the fabrication of sheet metal parts for the motorcycle industry, a growth area at that time. From that grew a quality engineering business that adapted to a rapidly changing world and strove to keep abreast of developing technology.

Over the years Varley and Gulliver has served a varied range of industries. After becoming involved in the manufacture of defence products during the second world war, they expanded into the machine tool industry and from there into the fabrication of architectural products. By the 1970’s we were already highly experienced in the fabrication of highway related safety barriers and were winning contracts internationally.

In 1990 Varley and Gulliver became a wholly owned subsidiary of Hill & Smith Holdings PLC.
In 2004 Varley and Gulliver acquired the assets of Lionweld Kennedy parapets. The Company now has two divisions, its head office in Birmingham and itsnewly formed operation in Middlesbrough. This has enabled the company to provide an even better service to its customers with an increase in capacity. This, combined with a highly qualified and experienced workforce enables the company to offer customers a reliable and outstanding level of quality and service. Varley and Gulliver’s technical services department offer a full commercial drawing, installation and contract management service. This department utilizes the latest CAD technology to help customers with the design process, bringing the advantage of specialist knowledge that only years of in-depth, practical experience can provide.

The company are fully recognised fabricators by the Highways Agency, and are on the approved list of sub-contractors for most major government agencies and local authorities. Whilst being recognised by these bodies and working to their exacting specifications, Varley and Gulliver can tailor designs to the requirements of individual engineers. Commitment to safety is a great reassurance to existing customers and not only do they ensure that all contracts are completed on schedule, Varley and Gulliver are frequently asked to finish competitors work.

Varley and Gulliver has provided engineering solutions for over 60 years, offering the very best in quality and service for a range of products. Our continuing presence in testing environments from the UK to the Middle East prove Varley and Gulliver’s position as a major player in highway safety.
