Morecambe Metals as A Family Business

Morecambe Metals is a 3^rd generation run family business currently run by the Managing Director, James Varley, supported by his father, also James Varley (Chairman) who is still actively involved in the company. James’ father and grandfather, again James Varley (Snr) bought the current site back in 1980. You can still see James Varley Snr at Morecambe Metals on a daily basis where he pops in to catch up, have a cup of coffee and reads the Financial Times and Racing Post.

We currently have over 35 employees working on the main site, and each one is made to feel a valued member of the team. As a family business that has been operating for almost 40 years, the family ethos and values are very much at the heart of, and permeate through, our business.

This is embodied in our core values and extends to how we treat all of our customers. We very much pride ourselves on fantastic customer service as well as being competitive in the market.

FAQs

Who Are Morecambe Metals?

Here at Morecambe Metals, we know how important family is, and we believe that’s what has spurred us on to be highly successful for the past 35 years. Being family-run allows us to give consistently high-quality service to people who know the scrap metal recycling industry inside out.

Where are we based?

We are based in the seaside town of Morecambe and specialise in processing and recycling various ferrous and non-ferrous scrap metals. This can be anything from end-of-life vehicles, demolition scrap or even consumer goods that are no longer needed or functioning, providing a reliable recycling service for many clients.

How do we protect the environment?

The environment is something that we want to help protect, and our recycling of metals is helping to combat waste which can potentially damage the environment that we live in. We’re wholly committed to consistently ensuring that the scrap metal collection, processing, handling and quality of our scrap metal is meeting health and safety, as well as environmental, legislation.

How Can We Help Local Businesses?

We offer a wide range of services designed specifically for businesses and trade sectors.

How Do We Help the Local People?

Although we don’t tend to collect single pieces of domestic equipment, if you happen to be doing a house renovation or clearance, we can still help. You can request various sizes of skips to collect your disregarded appliances and cables, and we will come and take your scrap metal away to be sorted through our Eddy Current Separator. Even if you are not a business owner, you can also use our scrap car services to get rid of your old vehicle.
