Our Story
Humble beginnings in the home garage
Founded by Dean Curle and Lynette Demler in 2007, Continuous Stainless started out as a small family business working out of their home garage while they grew their reputation and client base.
Outgrowing the space
As the business grew and a reputation for quality workmanship flourished, staff came on board and more space was needed. Dean and Lynette purchased a workshop in Kent Street in 2010 and worked out of the space for six years before outgrowing that too. In 2016 they moved operations to 14 High Street in Frankton, where Continuous Stainless still operates from today.
The next generation of Directors
Continuous Stainless is now in its second phase of ownership, with Matai Kelly and James Hurley coming on board as Directors in recent years to meet the growing demand.
But they're already mates.
While working on some of London's most exclusive properties making million-pound luxury staircases, Continuous Stainless' James and Matai sparked up a friendship almost 20 years ago.
Combining skills so clients win
The guys have spent years building up extensive career knowledge working across various industries and have combined their skills to deliver solutions for clients, whatever the job.
