Michael Keates
Michael has been part of Ark Wrought Ironwork since he was 10 years of age, working at weekends & helping dad in the workshop. Although only seventeen he is already a competent welder and has a natural problem solving ability, he is also a fast learner. Unfortunately for Ark Wrought Ironwork he leaves for university this year (2012) for 3 years. |

Arthur Keates (The Boss)
Arthur founded Ark Wrought Ironwork with his wife Yvonne in 1992. He served his apprenticeship in Wales as an Agricultural Blacksmith; he has 35 years experience in the steel fabrication industry. He is also a qualified domestic electrician & has level 1, 2 & 3 City & Guilds certificates in AutoCAD computer design. |
Daniel Keates
Daniel, like Michael, used to like coming down dad’s workshop from an early age and help out. As he got older he came to site at weekends & holidays right up until he left for university in 2009. But in his gap year he will be back working with Ark Wrought Ironwork as Michael leaves for university. |
Yvonne Keates
Yvonne has run the office for 20 years, taking calls & keeping on top of the paperwork required to run the company, and although not involved in the workshop or on site, without her the company would not operate as smoothly as it does. |
Graeme Storer (Technical)
Graeme has worked for Ark Wrought Ironwork for 14 years he works in our technical department and in the field carrying out services and customer care; in my opinion he is one of the best automation equipment technicians in the country.
