Silver Anniversary Celebrated With Metsec
As well as being Tannson’s 25th year in business, 2006 also marks a milestone in our relationship with Metsec. We became the Scottish Sales Office of Metsec within weeks of starting up Tannson and have continued this special relationship ever since.

Metsec Plc is the UK’s largest specialist cold-rolled forming company providing products for the UK construction and engineering industries. The company grew strongly after a management buy-out in 1982, later going public and now owned by the Voestalpine Group, one of Europe’s leading specialist engineering companies. Steve Tilsley, one of the original MBO team, is Managing Director of Metsec and leads up their UK activities. Our own Fred Harris represents Metsec in Scotland, selling their full range of purlins, rails and lattice beams. Fred has had a great year hitting a record £2.3 million in purlin sales.

Steve Tilsley presented Tannson with a silver salver to commemerate our special anniversary, during a visit of the Tannon Directors to Metsec Headquarters in Birmingham on 21 February 2006 (photograph l-r: Charlie Veitch, Steve Tilsley (MD Metsec), Mike Tanner, Gary Bushnell, Earl Andrews (Director Metsec).
