Scottish steel market set for expansion

Following a successful first 18 months for Barrett's Tube Division in Scotland, the company has announced a major investment north of the border with the launch of Barrett Steel Scotland.

The new business, based in Bathgate, will promote general steels to an expanding Scottish market, serving small and large steel users in a wide range of industries, from blacksmiths to major construction companies and large fabricators. The company has ambitious growth plans and aims to be the largest independent steel stockholder in Scotland within the next five years.
