The
Journey
Scott Metals was founded in
1967 by husband and wife team, Maurice
and Myra Scott. Their two sons Clive
and Steve, following in the
footsteps of their father, an Engineer, developed
a passion for steel
and metal products. As small children, Clive and Steve
would help
their father every day, before and after school.
Over
the next decade, Maurice passed on to his sons the knowledge
he had learned
from experience gained over a lifetime in the industry.
This 'hands on' method
of teaching ensured the brothers knew their
trade inside out.
In
1985, the small space, which Scott Metals had occupied for almost
20 years,
was sold from under them, and consideration was given to
closing the business
down. Ever believing that 'where there's a will
there's a way', Clive and
Steve convinced their dad that the business
they loved was worth fighting
for and that it was worthy of much
larger and more modern premises.
In July of that year they purchased the business from their parents
and
relocated to the 3,000 Sq/Mtr building they now own and occupy
right in the
heart of Woolloongabba. Their adventurous spirit enabled
them to expand employing
over 25 staff, and supplying their quality
Steel Products
to many of the leading builders in the southeast
corner of Queensland.
From humble beginnings, the Scott brothers have journeyed by
way of hard
work and dedication, gradually building a strong
business with solid foundations.

Time
and quality are two important factors in any business, however
in the building
industry these are absolutely critical. Understanding
that time is money, the Scott brothers were the first to pioneer
24 Hour Service
for all building products, making the previously
accepted 5 day waiting period
a thing of the past.
Major building companies have recognized Scott
Metals as leaders
in their field, and rely on them for all of the steel components
for
their quality homes. This results not only from the superiority of
their product, but their dependence on speedy and reliable service.
While
Scott Metals has grown in size, careful management has
made certain that the
spirit of good old-fashioned family service
has not been lost. Clive and Steve
are continually striving to break
new ground in customer service to ensure
their clients can achieve
their maximum potential - always with total peace
of mind.

Dedicated
to providing superior steel and metal products, Clive and
Steve are constantly
updating their knowledge and equipment. By
combining their experience with
the very latest technology, they
are perfectly equipped to meet the challenge
of the 21st century.
Their
state of the art equipment consists of a fully computerised
guillotine, automatic
band saws, the very latest welding facilities,
hydraulic punch and shear machines,
just to mention a few.
No
job is too big or too small for this daring duo and they will go to
extremes
to satisfy their customers. From the most intricate and
complex architectural
plans for large steel constructions, to the
simple Bracket,
open 6 days a week, Scott Metals is always ready
to meet your challenge. |
Innovatively,
Clive and Steve led the way again by being the first
to introduce the Pre-Galvanized
RHS material in the manufacture
of House Columns
for the domestic building market. This innovation
quickly led to architects
and engineers specifying this type of
product as the industry standard.
Clive and Steve will continue
searching for new horizons to conquer
and additional ways to improve their
operation. Why not explore the
possibilities with Scott Metals and join them
on the path to the future. | |
