DESPATCH AND DELIVERY
In addition to operating our own fleet of lorries for prompt deliveries, we also have the backing of independent hauliers to ensure all our customers receive their metal on time. This service is only made possible as a result of having comprehensive stocks of assorted alloys in our stores.
At Coleshill Aluminium Limited we take great care when it comes to environment awareness; recycling our raw material is only one part of the cycle, we do this in partnership with the local authority and other bodies to ensure that we conform to all Environmental Health and Safety Standards.
