Default Plymouth Metal Centre

My company has begun using Plymouth Metal Center as one of our preferred suppliers.
So i got the chance this week to pay a visit and check out their stock etc...
They have a bloody good range and are really nice people as well as very helpful
They also carry lots of ERW box
their cash and carry price is £5.10 for 6m of 19x19mm
and £8.20 for 6m of 25x25mm
and £5.50 for 6m of 40mmx3mm flat bar
not bad prices free cutting and loads of stock on shelves also they reckon to be really competitive with ally sheet and nonferrous lots of funny shaped ally angles and trim
hope this is use
cheers les g

MMMM, they only seem to keep material for steel fabricators, I provided them with a list of tube and they sent all the wrong sizes. It was ok for making a gate oe something but no good to an engineering firm. Woodbury Chilcott are much better and cheaper.
