About Us

Who We Are

Since its establishment in January 1990, Brian Martin’s Sheet Metal has been a trusted name in metal fabrication, serving clients from the Mackay, Whitsunday, and Isaac regions. Founded by Brian Martin, the business quickly earned a reputation for producing work of exceptional quality, meeting the needs of diverse industries.


On 1 October 2010, Brian passed the reins to his nephew, John Brown, while returning to his passion for hands-on fabrication. With over a decade of involvement in the business, John continues the tradition of delivering the highest standard of workmanship and service.


Our capabilities include guillotine cutting for up to 6mm mild steel and 4mm stainless steel, press breaking at 3,700mm width, 4” plate rolling, Ø30mm hole punching, and CNC plasma cutting for internal applications.

John Micallef

Joel Micallef – Tradesmen / Workshop Supervisor

Joel loves his skyline. Most people drive their cars with the front facing forward. Joel loves to drive them sideways, only on the track, obviously; on the road, he is a very professional driver.


He loves everything outdoors, including camping and fishing, but is a little metro, I can’t blame him. He comes from NSW. Joel is an exceptional TIG welder and has a fine eye for detail.
