BRITISH OPEN FENCING CHAMPIONSHIPS AND SPEED FENCING COMPETITION SET TO IGNITE APF SHOW 2026
F.H. BRUNDLE SCULPTS PERFECT 130TH BIRTHDAY
F.H. Brundle, suppliers of wrought iron, mesh and steel product suppliers, celebrated their 130th birthday in a way that honoured their long and storied history.
The company, which supplies a vast array of railings, balustrades, fencing, flooring and decking products alongside literally hundreds of varieties of metal components, challenged artists around the UK to design a sculpture using items from their range.
They received over a hundred entries, ranging from the highly abstract to the very traditional, by customers, sculptors and blacksmiths all around the country.
That made it an extremely difficult decision to choose a winner but ultimately, there was a clear favourite – ‘Every horse in London’, by Yorkshire-based artist Emma Stothard.
Fashioned from wire and metal, the piece is a life-size, free-standing sculpture of a horse being shod by a farrier. In the early days of F.H.Brundle, making horseshoes was a critical part of the business – and atone stage, it was even said that every horse in the capital sported F.H.Brundle horseshoes.
After making an epic 150-mile journey on the back of one of the company’s flatbed trucks, the piece now welcomes visitors to its Burtonon- Trent distribution centre.
