A delegation from Russia recently descended on Worksop for a
guided tour of one the town's most well-known firms.
Worksop Galvanizing, part of Wedge Group Galvanizing, welcomed a
group from the Russian Union of Metal and Steel Suppliers (RUMSS)
together with the Russian Steel Constructional Association (RSCA),
which is travelling across the UK as part of a collaborative
business programme.
The programme aims to establish a mutually beneficial
partnership where knowledge of British and Russian experience in
design, manufacture, and applications of steel structures,
technical regulation, standardization and development will be
shared.
A full tour of the plant was given by the senior team at Worksop
Galvanizing, including Sales Manager Paul Robinson and General
Manager Ben Calvert. "It was a real honour to welcome such a large
group of steel and metal suppliers from overseas, and to be
included in their UK-wide tour" explained Paul Robinson.
"The group spent the afternoon on site and saw first-hand our
technologically-advanced facilities, as well as our 21 metre bath
which is the largest in the UK and which has the capacity to
galvanize steelwork up to 29 metres. Feedback was really positive
and they certainly seemed impressed by what they'd seen" he
concluded.

organisation in the UK with a history dating back over 150 years.
