Haq Meharban, Director at Instinct Hardware, shares the remarkable story behind his West Midlands-based architectural ironmongery manufacturing business, which has grown from an 800-square-foot unit to a 68,000-square-foot facility employing 45 people. Deeply proud of the region’s industrial heritage and community spirit, he credits the West Midlands for shaping both his identity and his company’s values.

Haq opens-up about the challenges of growth, from overcoming a devastating flood to adapting to sustainability and digitalisation. With projects like the rebuild of Wembley Stadium, Haq’s story is one of resilience, craftsmanship, and community pride.
