Anglo ‘gets back to business’
Paul Sullivan has returned to the helm of window and door steel reinforcement specialist, Anglo, with a mission to support fabricators in driving down costs and maximising margins.
Now part of the Amari Metals Engineering Group (AMEG), Paul headed the business from 2006 to 2022. Following a three-year leave of absence, he picked up the reigns at the steel roll-forming specialist in June.
With rising employment and energy costs putting even more pressure on fabricators, he argues new operational efficiencies, combined with the steel buying power of a multi-billion-dollar specialist metals group, put Anglo in a stronger position than ever before, to support fabricators in lowering their overheads.
“I’m passionate about the window and door industry. This is very much a personal project for me. I want to give fabricators the biggest savings backed by the best service,” Paul said.
“We’re in a better position to do that now than ever before. Amari have invested in new lines, quality control and accreditation – plus we have immense buying power.
“We’ve guaranteed our supply and our prices well into 2026. We’re more competitive than we’ve ever been, and we are committed to holding those prices,” he continued.
“At a time when fabricators face massively increasing costs, buying in steel from us either as full bar length or cut-to-size, is one of the few ways that you can take back control, and deliver big savings.”
Available for all leading PVC-U systems, in addition to the supply of full bar length, Anglo European offers cut-to-size reinforcement supply – delivered in three-days from point of order.
Supporting fabricators in reducing overheads by removing significant costs, such as labour, inventory, and wastage, Anglo claims it delivers average savings of 30-40% on system company steel prices.
This is said to equate to savings of between £1,000 to £15,000 a month, depending on the size of operation.
Anglo achieved ISO 9001 in 2024, launching AngloGalv, its own-brand of BS EN 10346-accredited galvanized steel.
Recent investments include the addition of a multi-million-pound double-sided CNC line – reported to be the most advanced roll-forming line in the UK.
Paul continued: “Our scale and as part of AMEG, means that we’re not looking to make big margins. We can buy steel at the right price, and as we’ve always done, we are committed to passing those savings on to our customers.
“At the same time, we’re also driving up service, bringing the flexibility and support to fabricators that they want and need.
“It’s not complicated. We’re here to disrupt the market because that’s what we are. The winners in that are fabricators.”
