ADDED VALUE SOLUTIONS TAILOR-MADE FOR YOUR BUSINESS
STEP 1: FREE CONSULTATION OF YOUR METALS & WASTE STREAM ARRANGEMENTS
Our knowledge and understanding of the Recycling Industry and it's various nuances is our core strength, our deep understanding of Industrial Accounts, and what it takes to service such arrangements often with complex logistical considerations to understand and overcome qualifies us to assess all options available to your business.
Our USP and what really makes us stand out is our willingness and determination to add, maximise and most importantly, sustain value for our Clientele - To initially find the best markets for your material and to discover the most cost-efficient route to market, re-assessing those options at regular intervals to ensure our customers are always ahead of the curve. This willingness, paired with our understanding of Industrial Services and an Open Book approach will unequivocally add value to your bottom line. But first and foremost, we need to understand your needs by way of an initial consultation...
We manage an ever-increasing number of Industrial Accounts including a number of Blue Chip automotive manufacturers, steel and downstream Tier 1 / 2 / 3 producers, benefitting from the economies of scale afforded to us in terms of collective volume, which in turn enables us as seasoned negotiators and steel professionals with direct end-user market access to secure you the most competitive prices and terms for your material, consistently.
An initial consultation is free of charge and involves us taking a deep dive to fully understand your business, your current arrangements, and your future requirements, as any comprehensive solution will unquestionably need to address servicing & reliability which are fundamental. We respect our Customers' privacy and offer an NDA from the outset.
We assess your current pricing arrangements whilst considering the current route to market and associated costs thereof whilst also benchmarking your returns against true prevailing market prices, which can also be historically assessed. 3rd Party Indices are used by a number of UK Recyclers to establish monthly prices "fairly". Unfortunately a number of Recycler's also lobbied those indexes & publications to achieve lower purchase prices, which can degrade your pricing arrangement over time. This is why it makes absolute sense to use an Atlas Expert to continually reassess your value in use proposition and make pro-active changes if necessary.

We deal with a number of Clients whose production can not by any means be disrupted during such a process change and it is of paramount importance that our scope of work will not threaten production in any way, alas to say we very well understand the mechanics of your business and will seek to be risk-averse in every respect.
