Tomrods Ltd started trading in 1974 with just two employees and without any steel in stock.. We have grown over the years so that we now have 32 employees, 6000 tonnes of stock, over 90,000 sq ft ( 10,000 sq m) of covered and outside storage, a fleet of wagons as well as extensive processing facilities.

We are situated on two sites, Knaresborough and Thirsk. Both are in North Yorkshire and within a short distance of the A1 motorway. We have easy access to all our customers in the Northeast of England as well as to the Humber ports. Our fleet of 6 wagons deliver daily into all these areas providing a just-in-time service to all our UK customers. We also export to Europe and the USA.

In addition to the supply of standard stock lengths we have five saws, which can provide an individual cut to length service as well as mitreing and bundle cutting of sizes up to 1016x305 beam. We have on site shotblasting and painting facilities and can offer drilling as part of these comprehensive services.

Tomrods Ltd has always prided itself on the quality of the product that it sells. We are certificated to conform to BS EN ISO 9001:2000 and we are always working at adding to the quality of the product and the service that we give to our customers.

Financially the directors have always believed that a strong balance sheet is an essential part of being successful. Since our conception we have retained profits within the company to provide for the continuing investment needed to remain ahead of our competitors as well as enabling us to take advantage of new technology.

Tomrods Ltd is totally committed to provide our customers and suppliers with an excellent service. Our current managing director, John Thompson, is one of those two employees who started trading on the 1st of January 1974 and is proud of the company’s past achievements, but is also totally committed to a programme of continuing improvement.

This web site has been set up so you can see the products, the services and the people and to give you an insight into our company. We trust you will find it useful.

Managing Director.
