Growing demand for construction industry customers had led Bradford-based steel supply group Barrett Steel to launch a new operation.

It has established Barrett Constructional Steel business to extend its service to constriction customers across the UK.

The construction steel business is run by general manager Daniel Redgwick, previously sales manager at the Barrett Group’s Bradford site.

He said: “The new business was established as a centralised operation to meet the growing demand from the UK construction industry. We will offer our customers all the benefits of being part of the UK’s largest independent steel stockholder, including access to the Barrett Group’s resources, buying power and expertise as well as its comprehensive stock range.”
