“We are writing to thank Karen and Beth for the excellent service Macalloy provided us when supplying the M20, M24 ties and associated turnbuckles. The quality of your service to deliver was excellent and accommodated all our many different requests during the course of our works. You were both always polite, informative, and extremely knowledgeable on the products you supplied us on a structurally challenging project. Thank you again for your help and assistance.”
Ian Neave (Building & Maintenance Norfolk Ltd)
“Macalloy gave us the confidence to go beyond standard designs and created bespoke elements in order to accomplish something amazing and unprecedented. Macalloy provided training and technical assistance throughout fabrication. They showed the Factum Arte team how to install and tension the bars. They were also flexible, and refabricated certain elements quickly when necessary.”
Max Clayton (Structural Workshop Engineers, London)
“Thanks very much for all the drawings, re-quotes and advice. All the suggestions for engineering, finishing and installation you made during the process were incredibly helpful. All the parts looked great and it worked really well and they now have a very prominent place above the station in Paddington. Thanks very much again for sorting the parts at very short notice during our install we really appreciated it.”
Ben Ryan (The Whitewall Company)
“First time we have ordered with Macalloy as a company, the service has been second to none from the first contact to the delivered product. With an extremely short notice change in requirement from the ordered product the Macalloy team assisted us to turn around the updated requirement in under 24 hours and ensure that we hit our deadline for installation to our client. Their hard work and dedication to us as a customer has been amazing and we will be using them again for every requirement that arises in their field of work. Thank you Macalloy Team!”
Joe Hammand, Operations Director (Assesmont Group Ltd)
“We recently had the pleasure of hosting a Macalloy CPD in our office. The CPD was very informative, we found the content to very well presented and relevant to our role on a number of projects. The presentation was clear, concise and punctual – overall an excellent CPD.”
Paul Taite, Director (Hanley Taite Design Partnership)
“The tensioning team provided a very good service, they were well organised with equipment arriving in advance of works. I would have no issue in recommending for future work.”
Stephen Graham, Project Manager (Severfield Commercial & Industrial)
“For Lithic Chords at the Venice Architecture Biennale 2025, We approached this project from a diverse point of view, bringing together architecture, art, engineering, and sound. Thanks to Macalloy’s quality and expertise, we were able to succeed in turning this vision into reality. The material allowed the structure to become an artwork and beautifully expressed structural systems inspired by musical instruments. The visibility and resonance of the project rely on those collaborations. Macalloy’s contribution did not just support the project; it helped elevate it into a poetic, performative space that engages with the public in unexpected ways.”
Cristina Morbi, Director (Maetherea)
Macalloy played a pivotal role in the design and realisation of the tension rod system for Lithic Chords, a post-tensioned stone sculpture featured at the 19th Architecture Biennale in Venice. From the moment I approached Mark Ellis for support, he and the entire Macalloy team enthusiastically joined our project, offering expert guidance from the very beginning. They provided detailed advice on material selection to ensure the best combination of structural performance and aesthetics, and went above and beyond during installation by demonstrating the setup process and even providing proprietary tools and connectors to guarantee success. Whenever unexpected challenges arose on site, Macalloy was just a call away, offering practical solutions remotely. Working with them was a fantastic experience, and I am especially grateful to Mark Ellis and Chris Jayoba for their dedication and support. Thank you guys!
