The latest addition to the EMR group brings with it processing capabilities and handles all grades of ferrous and non ferrous metals.
“The new site is well located to enhance our operations in both the North West and the Midlands and will enable us to build on our relationship with other merchants in the local area; something which is very important to us,” says Ian Sheppard, Regional GM.
