ParkerSteel

General information

The journey to success began in 1904, in the hands of founder John Parker. Born and bred in Whitehaven, the devoted churchgoer decided to move to Canterbury. Having previously worked as an ironmonger Mr. Parker opened his very own shop at No 11 The Parade, selling tools and goods to the trade. Soon enough, he realized the potential to diversify into stockholding iron, to cater for the local farming community. He acquired a small yard in Watling Street and began stockholding the first batches of metal for local trade. The first stage of Parker expansion began.

ParkerSteel is still growing, still delivering a quality professional service throughout the country, still keeping our customer's interests as our top priority.

At present, around 600 people are employed across all our sites. Our processing facilities have grown significantly with over 30 state of the art machines across our sites. This dramatic increase in storage, stock range, and processing facilities has now made ParkerSteel the largest steel stockholder and processor in the UK.

Not only our products and services that have grown but Parkers delivery fleet is also now an impressive 60 strong fleet of purpose built vehicles and Arctic trailers, traveling over 30,000Km every day to England and Wales.

Parkers are continuously diversifying, expanding, developing and improving our services to meet the needs and expectations of all our valued customers. This is the John Parker & Son commitment!
