William Lees & Sons are reputable suppliers of top quality and competitively priced aircraft and sheet metal tooling components – Try us today!

Established in 1934, originally as an Engineers Agents, our family business moved into manufacturing temporary fasteners in the 1980s. Shortly after, we were approached by a manufacturer of Cleco’s offering their products to the UK and European markets and, as a result, their parent company asked us to supply the full range of aerospace tooling. For the last 40 years, our products and services, including our wide range of Skinpins Temporary Fasteners, are used by leading aerospace companies including BAE Systems; Airbus; British Airways; Short Brothers and Virgin Atlantic-as well as many others through sub-contractors and distributors. We also supply Formula 1, automotive and sheet metal industries. Our company supplies to smaller businesses too, so get in touch to find out how we can help you. We are still a family run business and whether you have a query on a product or just need some advice, call us or drop us an email.
