Cast
in Style is a family run company.
Our founding directors Kerry and Lee Styles, pictured on the left,
have a common belief in providing the highest quality products we
can. Nearly all the products on our web site are manufactured by us
and only us. Lee has been in the cast iron industry all his life and
has been able to acquire a vast range of original patterns ,many of
which are over 150 years old. We are a quality company with a reputation
to uphold, that is why we pride ourselves on the quality of the products
that we produce. We're based close to Iron-Bridge Gorge, England where
the cast iron industry was forged 150 years ago, which has a worldwide
reputation in the cast iron industry dating back to Thomas Telford.
