About Hog's Back Engineering
Hog’s Back Engineering is a specialist welding and fabrication business with a long standing focus on automotive engineering. The company is built on practical experience, technical understanding, and a deep connection to motorsport and vehicle based fabrication.
With more than 25 years working in welding and engineering, including over 20 years spent within motorsport environments, the business has developed a strong reputation for automotive focused fabrication carried out with care and precision. That motorsport background continues to influence how work is approached today, from preparation and material choice through to final execution.
Automotive Focus with Broad Fabrication Capability
While the core of the work is automotive based, Hog’s Back Engineering is not limited to a single type of project. Experience across different sectors has led to a flexible approach to welding and fabrication, allowing the business to take on a wide variety of technical challenges where sound workmanship is required.
This includes work across classic and modern vehicles, competition builds, and custom fabrication projects that demand accuracy rather than speed. Each project is assessed on its own merits and completed with a clear understanding of how the finished work will be used.
Materials and Technical Experience
A wide range of materials are handled as part of day to day fabrication work. This includes mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminium, each requiring different preparation methods, welding techniques, and finishing considerations.
Experience across these materials allows the correct approach to be chosen for strength, longevity, and suitability rather than convenience. This is particularly important in automotive and motorsport related work, where material choice directly affects performance and safety.
Suspension and Structural Understanding
Time spent working within motorsport has led to a strong understanding of suspension systems and load bearing structures. This knowledge informs how welded components are designed, reinforced, and integrated into existing assemblies.
Work involving suspension related components is approached with careful consideration of geometry, stress, and long term durability, whether the vehicle is intended for road use, competition, or restoration.
Location and Engineering Heritage
Both locations reflect a long standing culture of engineering, motorsport, and vehicle development that continues to influence the work carried out today. For enthusiasts, they remain significant landmarks within the wider automotive landscape.
A Practical Approach to Welding and Fabrication
Hog’s Back Engineering is built around a straightforward principle. Welding should be carried out properly, using the right materials and techniques, with a clear understanding of how the finished work will perform over time.
Every project benefits from experience gained over decades in demanding environments, where reliability and repeatability matter more than appearance alone.
