A FRAMEWORK standard for responsible sourcing has been gained by The Barrett Steel Group, the UK’s largest independent steel stockholder, which includes Northampton-based
A H Allen Steel Services.
The depot in Liliput Road, Brackmills, stocks steel in excess of 1,500 tonnes which means the specialist commercial team can ensure quick responses to their clients’ requests.
The new standard, BES 6001 recognises the group’s commitment in the supply of construction products. It is yet another achievement that demonstrates the group’s long-term commitment to sustainable management and ongoing mission to reduce the impacts through its extensive supply chain.
Steel products can be bought and collected off the shelf same day from the Liliput Road processing site which is also open to the public, while more specialist requirements can also be ordered through the knowledgeable team.
The A H Allen Steel company, set up in 1901, has real buying power to source competitively-priced steel and operates a stringent quality management system which is monitored and regularly reviewed under the strict BSI 9001 audit process.
Branch Director Spencer Bishop said: “Our ongoing investment in processing technology means steel is widely available to meet different specifications across most product lines including laser-cut and profiled pieces, bespoke designs can be designed by our group’s team of CAD designers to meet your demands and within compliance regulations.
“Part of our digital support structure we have in place is a Steel Account function allowing all registered companies access to their account at a time that suits them. The systems flexibility allows all to access and interact with your account 24 hours a day seven days a week to check your account balance, download proof of deliveries, retrieve test certificates and download invoices and credits.
“Our full range of general steel products are suitable for numerous construction and manufacturing applications. We also specialise in a full safety and access range which fully complements our extensive steel stock, such as handrail systems, connectors, weldmesh, roof protection systems, Armco barriers systems, Fastec glass balustrade systems, flooring panels and tube clamps.”
The group website allows all visitors to download free any specific product brochure.
Within the UK national group set up of 40 companies operating from 27 sites AH Allen is pleased to state it is ‘your local supplier’ wherever you are based with huge logistical support base covering all of the UK using its own dedicated fleet.
