OUR STORY

A UK Shelter Manufacturer

Alotek Shelters Ltd makes bus shelters, canopies and outdoor structures. We are based in Lancashire and work across the UK, from small parish councils to schools, academy trusts and businesses.

We use 3D drawing software and your specification to design each structure. You get realistic drawings so you can see the finished shelter before we start manufacturing.

We build in high-grade aluminium and steel for strength and long life. Our own team fabricates and installs every project.

MANAGING DIRECTOR

Alex Thomas

Managing Director since 2021

Alex has run Alotek since 2021. He trained in CAD and design at Southampton Solent University (BSc, 2:1). That is still how jobs start: site survey, drawings the client can actually read, then manufacture in aluminium, then install from the Lancashire workshop.

Before 2021 he worked in technical sales and metal fabrication, including as a sales engineer for a Liverpool fabricator. Typical clients are parish and town councils, school and MAT estates teams, NHS sites, and commercial operators who need jet wash screens or forecourt structures.

School sites are DBS-checked. Planning and highways paperwork is handled where the job needs it.

Every Alotek shelter starts with a conversation. You tell us what you need, and where it is going. Then a free site survey. Our team visits to take accurate measurements, and to talk the site through with you. We turn that into realistic 3D drawings, so you see the finished shelter before we make it, with a detailed quote. Your shelter is made in our Lancashire workshop, from high-grade aluminium, powder coated in any RAL colour you choose. Our own team installs it, from village bus stops to school sites, where every installer is DBS checked. One team, from first survey to final install, anywhere in the UK.
