ABOUT THE IRON MAIDEN

Martine, the founder of The Iron Maiden, is a talented artist and sculptor who has exhibited across South Africa by invitation. Inspired by her father, Sike Margoles — a respected architect behind major developments like Sandton City, Eastgate, The Mall in Rosebank, and Sandton Sun — Martine inherited his strong work ethic and passion for design.

In 1998, she started the business under the name Steel My Heart, with just one welder working on the pavement in Greenside. From there, the operation moved through various friends’ garages until it found a permanent home in a workshop in Lombardy West. The business eventually rebranded as The Iron Maiden.

Today, the team includes six skilled employees and a consulting engineer. Together, they handle projects from concept to design, fabrication, and final installation — always focusing on quality and attention to detail.
