The Iron welcome Rainham Steel as match sponsors for our latest home game against Solihull Moors on Friday.
The Essex-based company, who have their flagship distribution depot in Scunthorpe, have previously had nine seasons as the Iron’s front of shirt sponsor, following a consecutive spell between 2007 and 2015, and their return for the 2018-19 campaign.
Rainham Steel was formed in April 1973 by the late Bill Ives. It is now the UK’s foremost independent Steel Stockholder and Distributor. The company specialises in the supply of Universal Beams, Universal Columns, Channels, Angles, Large Flats and Structural Hollow Sections to major Steel Fabricators, Stockholders, Construction Companies, Civil Engineers and Builders Merchants.
Rainham Steel operates from its head office based in Rainham, Essex and a satellite sales office based in Bury near Manchester together with its distribution depots located in Rainham and Scunthorpe, North Lincolnshire.
The main distribution facility for the company, which houses all of the structural sections and structural hollow sections, is based in Scunthorpe, North Lincolnshire. The site was opened in September 2002, and is widely recognised as one of the most modern, safe and efficient steel distribution depots in Europe. The flagship 70 acre facility was primarily chosen for its locality to the nearby British Steel mills, as well as offering ease of access to the dock facilities for imports and exports.
During the last ten years Rainham Steel has also expanded its operations into property investments. Two dedicated property companies have been established which own collectively an extensive portfolio of industrial and commercial investments.
United also welcome Wroot Homes as this evening's matchball sponsors.
A big thank you to both for their support.
