British Constructional Steelwork
Association |
The BCSA represents steelwork construction companies which can
undertake the design, fabrication, construction and/or erection of steelwork
for steel framed buildings, whether high rise or single storey, for bridges,
industrial plant, towers or gantries. The BCSA represents over 100 steelwork
construction companies (also known as steelwork contractors) which together
produce over two thirds of the constructional steelwork in the UK. |

British Metals Recycling
Association |
The BMRA represents collectors and processors of scrap metals.
Around 40% of the UK's output of steel is made from recycled steel scrap. So
collecting products made from steel which have reached the end of their working
lives makes an important contribution to the environment. As steel
specifications become ever more stringent, so do the levels of quality control
required from the companies who process and deliver this essential raw material
to the industry |

Iron and Steel Statistics
Bureau |
ISSB Ltd provides a comprehensive steel statistics service to
industry in the UK. A vast wealth of data is available on steel production,
provision and use, ranging from world-wide trade statistics, to production and
delivery data to employment information. Much of this information is now
available for sale to outside bodies through a series of publications. |

Metals Industry Skills and
Performance Ltd |
MetSkill exists to raise the profile, quality and effectiveness of
training in steel related industries. It advises on and encourages the
development of training resources and initiatives, and is active in lobbying on
training issues. The company is owned and led by steel production
employers. |

National Association
of Steel Stockholders |
NASS represents companies who buy steel in bulk from steel
producers and provide a retail and distribution service to end-users of steel
throughout the UK. Steel stockholders also work with many customers to provide
added value to the steel they supply through first stage manufacturing
processes, performed efficiently and at low cost by stockholders before the
steel is delivered to site. Such processes now include de-coiling, cutting to
length, and washing and oiling sheets ready for presswork. Steel plates can be
processed and precision ground to customers shape requirements by flame, laser
and plasma cutting; and steel sections can be shotblasted, sawn and painted.
Stainless steel sheets can be brushed, polished and given a wide range of
decorative finishes for hygiene, catering or architectural applications. |
