David Hodgkiss OBE, William Hare's Chief Executive Officer, said: "We are delighted to have agreed our contract with British Steel, ensuring that we continue to supply market-leading products to our customers.


"The construction market can be very demanding and William Hare, and in turn our clients, demand all the materials we use meet the highest specifications.

"It is also pleasing to be able to support UK manufacturing, however the main reason we are using British Steel is because of the quality of the steel they manufacture."

British Steel's Commercial Director, Peter Hogg, added: "We're all proud that William Hare selected British Steel to form this type of partnership, it is a great show of confidence in our employees and their capability."
