A family-owned West Midlands automotive manufacturer is transforming unused parts into sculptures, thanks to a six-figure funding package from Lloyds Bank. Birchills Automotive has been trading in Walsall for 130 years, manufacturing exhaust systems for the car and motorcycle industry. To further its commitment to a more sustainable industry, the business has launched a project called Birchills Sculptures & Metal Restorations.

By repurposing unused metal from its manufacturing process, the firm makes and sells handcrafted designs using recycled 304 aircraft-grade stainless steel that otherwise would have gone to waste. From garden products such as planters, pots and furniture, to bespoke sculptures and decorative items for the home, all items are weather-proof and created by the business’ in-house custom design team.Lloyds Bank is supporting Birchills Sculptures & Metal Restorations with an overdraft and credit card package that will allow it to exhibit overseas.
