Q Metal Designs

About

Q Metal Designs is a one stop multi service design, manufacturing and creative steel fabrication company.

Gareth Quarterman, Head Creative at Q Metal Design, draws on his European heritage in both design and craftmanship. He loves to work out how to make your ideas come to life, whether that’s a quick design on a napkin or repeat order for brackets to an exacting specification.

Gareth begun his exploration of steel as a blacksmith. The desire to experiment and problem solve is part of who he is. As his range of tools expanded beyond the anvil and forge he relished the range of designs and finishes he could craft.

At the heart of it, Gareth’s curiosity drives his desire make things work and make them beautiful.

Testimonials

We have been working closely with Q Metal Designs for the past 5 years or more. Gareth, founder of Q Metal Designs, was initially contracted to weld our Disc Golf Baskets up and he did a fabulous job of this. Over the years we have involved Gareth more and more with new iterations of our basket and he has designed and built new Jigs to make manufacturing quicker and more efficient. We also invested in some machinery together and have brought back to NZ the manufacturing of some products that were made in China. Gareth is a skilled designer with excellent problem-solving skills as well as a very professional tradesman. Q Metal Designs completes work on time and will go the extra mile to make sure we can satisfy our client’s needs.

I would highly recommend Q Metal Designs for any of your Bespoke or mass-produced products.

We have created a fantastic relationship with Gareth, owner of Q Metal Designs, over the past 4 years and he has been an integral part of our design and manufacturing process. Gareth’s knowledge and skills have been invaluable in manufacturing premium quality furniture components for our high end products. When designing new pieces Gareth’s in-depth understanding of his trade along with the rare combination of his eye for detail and his ability to add valuable input into the design process has made our manufacturing process enjoyable, fast and efficient. No project has been too big or too small and Gareth’s enthusiasm to be involved with developing new products is a refreshing addition to the process. I can’t recommend Q Metal Designs highly enough for his ability to understand our business and product requirements along with the quality and timely manner of our finished products.

My name is Luke Nabarro, Director of Alpha Electrical Ltd and I offer my

recommendation of Gareth Quarterman of Q Metal Designs Ltd.

I have known and worked with Gareth for almost 10 years. He is our general

fabricator for any of our engineering requirements and is always happy to help

us to deliver projects on time and on budget.

He has also done some personal steel work for our house extension we have

completed, and his site work is very professional. Everything was built to the

engineer’s specifications with no problems.
