Paul Sullivan has returned to the helm of window and door steel reinforcement specialist, Anglo, with a mission to support fabricators in driving down costs and maximising margins.
Now part of the Amari Metals Engineering Group (AMEG), Paul headed the business from 2006 to 2022, following a three-year leave of absence. He picked up the reins at the steel roll-forming specialist in June.
With rising employment and energy costs putting even more pressure on fabricators, he argues that new operational efficiencies, combined with the steel buying power of a multi-billion-dollar specialist metals group, put Anglo in a stronger position than ever before to support fabricators in lowering their overheads.
“I’m passionate about the window and door industry. This is very much a personal project for me. I want to give fabricators the biggest savings backed by the best service”, Paul said.
“We’re in a better position to do that now than ever before. Amari has invested in new lines, quality control and accreditation – plus we have immense buying power.
“We’ve guaranteed our supply and our prices well into 2026. We’re more competitive than we’ve ever been, and we are committed to holding those prices.
“At a time when fabricators face massively increasing costs, buying in steel from us either as full bar length or cut-to-size is one of the few ways that you can take back control, and deliver big savings.”
National Insurance jumped from 13.8% to 15% in April. Combined with the increase to the National Living Wage, employing staff over the age of 21, even in an entry level position, now costs employers close to £30K per employee, significantly impacting their bottom line.
Available for all leading PVC-U systems, in addition to the supply of full bar length, Anglo European offers cut-to-size reinforcement supply – delivered in only three-days from point of order.
Supporting fabricators in reducing overheads by removing significant costs, such as labour, inventory, and wastage, it delivers average savings of 30-40% on system company steel prices.
This equates to savings from £1,000 to £15,000 a month, depending on the size of your operation.
Anglo achieved ISO 9001 in 2024, launching AngloGalv, Anglo’s own brand of BS EN 10346-accredited galvanised steel.
Recent investments include the addition of a multi-million-pound double-sided CNC line – the most advanced roll-forming line in the UK.
Paul continued: “Our scale and as part of AMEG, means that we’re not looking to make big margins. We can buy steel at the right price, and as we’ve always done, we are committed to passing those savings on to our customers.
“At the same time, we’re also driving up service, bringing the flexibility and support to fabricators that they want and need.
“It’s not complicated. We’re here to disrupt the market because that’s what we are. The winners in that are fabricators.” For more information about Anglo, visit www.anglometal.co.uk email enquiries@anglometal.com or call 0161 231 2354.
