Siddall & Hilton Products join Secured by Design

Founded in 1895, Siddall & Hilton has over a century of manufacturing heritage, specialising in high-quality welded mesh since 1985. From perimeter fencing panels and industrial welded mesh to gabions and D49 construction mesh, their products are engineered for strength, reliability and performance, meeting the highest industry standards across Europe.

Siddall & Hilton’s commitment to operational excellence and innovation is reflected in every product. Their focus on continuous improvement, collaboration and expert knowledge ensures customers receive solutions tailored to their specific needs.

The company’s B3 Extreme Welded Mesh Panel has achieved Secured by Design Police Preferred Specification, demonstrating Siddall & Hilton’s dedication to delivering products that offer the highest levels of security and reliability.

Andy Dawson, Managing Director, Siddall & Hilton Products, said: “We’ve never believed that quality is just a box to tick - it’s a responsibility. Every panel we make carries our name, our heritage and our promise to do things the right way. Joining Secured by Design is a natural extension of that belief - a commitment to manufacturing products that not only meet standards, but set them.”

Alfie Hosker, Secured by Design, commented: “It’s a pleasure to welcome Siddall & Hilton Products to SBD. Their B3 Extreme Welded Mesh Panel is an excellent addition to our range of accredited products. They fabricate and supply welded mesh panels to several Secured by Design member fencing companies, who are certified by the LPCB for the manufacture and production of the full fencing system to LPS1175 and other associated security standards.

“They are the first member of SBD to supply these significant component parts, which are integral to a full fencing system being fully independently certificated by the aforementioned LPCB. I look forward to developing a strong partnership with them over the coming years.”

SBD is the only way for companies to obtain police recognition for security-related products in the UK, through the Police Preferred Specification - a product-based accreditation scheme developed 25 years ago, which provides a recognised standard for all security products that effectively deter and reduce crime. SBD work with manufacturers and standards authorities to ensure that security standards are current and updated to keep pace with emerging crime trends.
