KEEP IT SIMPLE... DO IT WELL.
​​
Carlisle Steel Supplies was founded in 2021 by Clive Styth, who brought over 30+ years of experience in steel stockholding to the business.
​
Recognizing an opportunity to serve customers without the overheads of stockholding, Clive established Carlisle Steel Supplies to operate as a trader and distributor of steel products. Leveraging long-standing relationships with suppliers and customers built over his career, the company has since positioned itself as a trusted partner in the steel industry.
​
We operate uniquely as a steel trader, catering to a diverse range of customers - from DIY enthusiasts needing a single length of steel to bulk buyers requiring tonnes of stock.
​
Our supply chain, comprising first- and second-tier national and regional stockholders as well as domestic and continental mills, enables us to offer competitive pricing on an extensive array of steel products, serving customers nationwide.
​​
​​
BUILDING ON STRONG FOUNDATIONS.
​​
With no external funding, we overcame early challenges by meticulously building the operational foundations of the business.
​
Before launching, we self-developed robust systems for point of sale, customer relationship management (CRM), quality management, and accounting.
Additionally, we established a dynamic supply chain that adapts to the evolving industry and invested in technology to minimize ongoing overheads.
These efforts laid the groundwork for the seamless, customer-focused service we provide today.​​
​​
​​
COMMITMENT TO QUALITY AND RELATIONSHIPS.
​​
Our supply chain is at the heart of our success.
​
We pride ourselves on fostering long-term relationships with both suppliers and customers, ensuring every material meets the highest standards and is delivered when required.
​
All our steel products come with appropriate accreditations and certifications, including CE markings and 3.1 material inspection certificates, guaranteeing traceability and quality.
​
​
A MODERN FAMILY BUSINESS.
​​
Carlisle Steel Supplies is proud to operate as a family-run business. Joining Clive to lead the business is his nephew, Ben. The pair, along with help from other family members, operate the day-to-day running of the business and ensure customers are served around the clock.
​​
Our investment in modern technology enables our team to work remotely, providing exceptional flexibility and allowing us to respond quickly to customer enquiries wherever we are, ensuring customers are never left waiting on a response.
This commitment to innovation and efficiency underscores our dedication to delivering an outstanding customer experience, and welcoming customers to the Carlisle Steel Supplies family.

​
LOOKING AHEAD...
​​
In just a few years, we’ve achieved remarkable growth and built a reputation for reliability and excellence.
​
As we continue to expand, we remain committed to keeping customers at the heart of our business. We will not be judged by awards or outside influencers, only by our customers.
Over the coming years, we hope to strengthen our existing relationships and welcome new ones to join our extended family!
