North Queensland Proud


Established in 1989.


Before we became Townsville Stainless Steel, we were Stephen Fry Sheet Metal. Our current owner, Ashley, did his apprenticeship with Stephen Fry, before buying out his boss in 2013 and re-naming the business. Now the semi-retired boss, who has worked in the industry in Townsville for almost 50 years, is back working part-time for his one-time apprentice.


The training and ongoing professional development for the next generation of tradespeople is richer due to the depth of experience and wisdom passed on from the older tradies.


We also believe in investing in the future of the trade by fostering a culture of mentorship and skill-building. By supporting apprentices and new tradespeople, we ensure that the legacy of excellence continues for years to come.


At Townsville Stainless Steel, we combine the wisdom of experience with modern techniques to deliver exceptional results. Call us today on 07 4779 1991 to learn more about our services. Serving Townsville, Cairns, Mount Isa, Mackay, Rockhampton and Darwin.
