The founder

Bret Kapetanov

Bret Kapetanov is the founder and chief craftsman of Primeman Ltd. With over 15 years of hands-on experience across two countries, Bret built his trade in Canada, training to the highest standards in pharmaceutical and food-grade metalwork, before relocating to the UK to bring that discipline to British industry.

He founded Primeman Ltd in 2024 to do three things: deliver fabrication and industrial mechanics work that holds up under the strictest regulatory scrutiny; build an advisory practice that helps UK manufacturers run leaner, safer, and more humane workshops; and quietly model what a modern tradesman can be, for the apprentices, the journeymen, and the lads coming up behind him.

Primeman is currently pursuing UK paper certification to formally accredit Bret's existing competencies under British standards.
