Scrap your credit crunch worries!
Undoubtedly 2008 has been an ‘interesting’ year for Scrap Metal, and as we are all more than aware the scrap metal market has certainly been volatile.
The general trade saw prices rising to record levels in May, June and July, only to have experienced extreme price falls throughout October and the remainder of 2008 - driven primarily by a collapse in demand within the global scrap metal market as a result of an overwhelming fall in the value all commodities driven by the onslaught of a worldwide recession.
Through all this Smith Metals have always strived to keep prices competitive and consistently at the top of local market values, and this still holds true. With prices having fallen to the levels we see today, we are acutely aware that any extra return on some grades of scrap can represent a significant difference.
In addition to scrap values we strive to maintain an unbeatable level of customer service, offering a completely bespoke service to each one of our valued customers. We uphold our promise to disperse any rental fees for our skips, nor do we charge for transport, and in these increasingly difficult financial times we know only too well the benefits of our controlled payment plans that we can tailor to your individual needs and get payment for your scrap metal to you as quickly as you need it.
Speaking about the current market situation, James Cubbon, Business Development manager at Smith Metals said:
“We are all aware of the shadow cast upon many industries as we start this New Year, but we sincerely feel with the correct guidance, we can help our customers with a well structured and cost effective scheme, designed to optimise the return on their scrap.”
As always your Smiths Metals representative will be happy to discuss and review your specific requirements, no matter how challenging! We are here as a true partner and by working together we are sure we can ride this out and return to the better times experienced in early 2008.
