Houston’s calling for Barrett Steel

INDEPENDENT steel stockholder Barrett Steel has officially launched an office in Houston, Texas.

Established to serve the oil and gas industry throughout the Gulf of Mexico and Brazil, Barrett Steel Energy Products has been operating from purpose-built facilities in Houston for several mon- ths.

The head office of Barrett Steel is located in Bradford, West Yorkshire, on the site where its 19th century founder, Henry Barrett, set up premises in 1910. James Barrett, group managing director, said: “The move is a demonstration of the Barrett Steel Group’s commitment to new markets and to cementing stronger relationships with overseas custom- ers.”
