OUR STORY

SIX DECADES OF SERVICE

Established in 1964

West Midlands Metals was established in 1964, and for over 60 years we've been serving Birmingham's trades and businesses with integrity, professionalism, and fair pricing. What started as a local scrap metal dealer has grown into one of Birmingham's most trusted non-ferrous metal specialists, built on a foundation of honest dealings and long-term relationships.

We're a family-run business that understands the value of hard work and fair dealing. Over six decades, we've watched Birmingham change and grow, and we've been proud to be part of the city's industrial and commercial landscape throughout that time.
