Who We Are
At Siddall & Hilton, we manufacture high-quality welded steel mesh used in security, construction, infrastructure and critical projects across the UK and internationally.
Established in Brighouse in 1895, we combine a proud history with a forward-thinking culture focused on innovation, teamwork and continuous improvement.
Our purpose is simple: to make it safe — for our customers, our communities and our people.
If you are reliable, motivated and keen to learn, we will provide the training and support you need to build a long-term career with us.
Join a supportive workplace where your ideas are valued and you can grow with the business.
Why Join Siddall and Hilton?
As Sales and Operations Administrator, you’ll be at the centre of our commercial operation, working with customers, production, transport and sales to make sure every order reaches the customer on time.
Reporting to the Sales Office Manager and working closely with the commercial team, transport and supply chain, you’ll play a key role in keeping customer orders moving and supporting the continued growth of Siddall & Hilton.
We make welded steel mesh in Brighouse, and we have done since 1895. You’ll be based in our modern, professional office environment. It’s a busy, friendly environment where good administration keeps everything running — a role with real variety, visible impact and plenty of contact across the business.
We’re an SME with a long history and a forward-thinking outlook. Being this size means you’ll be close to the decisions – and that priorities sometimes shift, so the role suits someone flexible, happy to take on a broad range of duties and to contribute beyond a narrow remit when needed. In return there’s genuine scope to develop as you grow into the role.
