The journey from the humble beginnings of hand-crafted tools to the sophisticated modern-day computerised lasers is a testament to human ingenuity, perseverance, and the relentless pursuit of precision and efficiency. — George C. Bell 1861-1935
Our roots trace back to the remarkable legacy of George Bell, a trailblazer who left an indelible mark on the industry, shaping a heritage that spans over a century.
Initially excelling in steel finishing services, George's journey evolved, culminating in establishing a prominent subcontract polishing company in South Yorkshire. This transformation positioned our enterprise as a vital supplier to the cutlery industry. George Bell, an adept and dedicated engineer, consistently delivered top-notch crafted goods and services throughout South Yorkshire.

The Bell family, with a rich history as silversmiths and engineers in the UK since the late 19th century, embarked on their inaugural manufacturing venture in 1913 in Sheffield. This marked the beginning of their specialisation in stainless and silver cutlery.
Taking a generational stride, Michael Bell, the grandson of the late George Bell, Director of Bel-marking Ltd and Technomark UK Ltd, strategically merged these two companies with George C Bell Ltd. This strategic move was aimed at strengthening their presence in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, a historic hub of steel manufacturing. Wholeheartedly embracing the family legacy, Michael is poised to follow in his grandfather's footsteps, prepared to take on tasks of any magnitude.
The merger empowers us to offer a global service of exceptional quality and service, thanks to our highly skilled and motivated workforce.
