Support
We have approximately 100 colleagues working within the branch network and head office. The vast majority of our teams have had many decades industry experience which we see as a great strength to our business.
We deliver to major multi-million pound capital projects where solutions are required to meet complicated logistic plans, including managing multiple sites and contractors in a safe and environmentally conscious manner. We offer in-house pipe cutting and grooving facilities up to 24”. Within the industrial market we also understand the importance of test certifications and we procure products where source of origin is crucial within the specification such as Western European mills.
