The most satisfying part of the job comes at the finishing stage - linishing. Sanding and smoothing welds towards the end of a project is where everything comes together, and that final clean finish is what makes the work especially rewarding. Patience, attention to detail, and pride in craftsmanship are at the core of how he works.

When not in the workshop, he enjoys keeping up with sports and spending time training in MMA at the gym. He recently won his last fight at Fenton Manor and enjoys the challenge, discipline, and buzz that comes with training and competing.

Otto has an uncanny ability to turn any tough day around with his puppy eyes. He’s also great at reminding the team when it’s time for a break (usually involving walks or belly rubs). No meeting is complete without his insightful head nudges and motivational snoozes.

Zooming around, chasing cats (even if he mostly just watches), and mastering the art of the croissant curl. He’s a dedicated napper and loves tagging along on family adventures - especially when snacks are involved.

Carolyn’s greatest strengths are her organisational skills. She effortlessly handles a wide range of tasks, while always looking for ways to make things run even better. Her calm, steady presence keeps the team moving forward without a hitch.

When she’s not working, Carolyn loves co-running a yoga studio with her sister and spending time outdoors with her whippet Otto. Family is everything to her, and she cherishes every adventure with her husband and daughter, Nellie - her tiniest powerhouse and biggest teacher.

Calm and methodical, he takes real pride in making sure every weld is as strong as it is neat.

Outside of work, you’ll usually find him out on his mountain bike or tinkering with his project car.

Neil’s biggest strength is his knack for problem-solving. He loves taking on tricky challenges and turning them into practical, buildable solutions. There’s nothing quite like seeing his designs come to life during test builds and final fabrication, and that hands-on approach makes him a key player at MSC.

Outside of work, Neil’s passion lies with classic and American cars - especially the unusual and quirky ones. He’s not interested in driving anything “normal.” When he’s not at car shows or working on restoring classics, you’ll find him creating industrial-style steel furniture in his personal workshop, putting his creativity and craftsmanship to good use

What Matt enjoys most is creative problem-solving, especially when it comes to designing tricky features like hidden fixings, clean lines, and embedded stringers. He’s great at balancing a strong design vision with practical engineering, making sure every staircase looks stunning and is built to last. There’s nothing better for him than seeing a finished staircase come together exactly as he imagined.

When he’s not designing staircases, Matt’s all about fast cars and adrenaline. He loves car meets, track days, and keeping up with the latest in sports car design. Skiing is a big passion too - he tries to hit the slopes whenever he can, traveling around the world. And he’s a serious Formula 1 fan, always following the races and the tech behind the cars. The precision and performance really inspire his work.

Ben is great at taking an idea and turning it into a beautiful, real staircase. He loves helping customers explore different styles, materials, and details until they find a design that truly excites them. With his background in structural design and practical engineering, Ben has a keen eye for making sure every staircase isn’t just stunning but also built to last.

In his downtime, Ben is all about ultra-marathons, long-distance running, and staying active outdoors. Whether it’s early morning jogs or weekend trail runs, he loves getting outside to soak up the daylight, recharge his energy - and yes, sometimes deal with sore feet too.

The most rewarding part of his job is seeing a design that’s been worked on for weeks finally take shape in the workshop. Watching a project move from his computer, through the office window, and into real life never gets old, especially when the scale of a finished staircase still manages to surprise him.

Outside of work, Adam is usually training for triathlons - swimming, cycling, and running whenever he gets the chance. When he’s not training, he’s busy being a dad, chasing after his son and making sure he doesn’t fall over, which might be the toughest endurance event of them all.

Ben is deeply dedicated to design excellence and maintaining the highest quality standards. His commitment ensures every staircase not only looks exceptional but also delights every customer who experiences it. He works tirelessly to stay true to the values that make Metal Staircase Co a trusted name for bespoke craftsmanship.

He loves spending time outdoors climbing, exploring with his dog Otto, and going on family adventures with his wife Carolyn and daughter Nellie - often building dens and making memories along the way. He’s also a big fan of live music and enjoys going to gigs whenever he can.
