Metal recycling firm Ward buys out Yorkshire business

Thomas Ward York Yorkshire Derbyshire

Derbyshire metal recycling and waste management specialist Ward has acquired a business in York. The Swadlincote-based venture has bought out scrap metal merchant L. Clancey & Sons in an undisclosed deal.

Ward, which is an independent, family-run business, has acquired a 3.9-acre scrap metal site in York and the business as a going concern.

The acquisition further enhances the nationwide capabilities of Ward, offering greater coverage in the North of England, while enabling the succession planning of L. Clancey & Sons, as two of its partners take retirement. The Yorkshire business has been trading since 1860.
