About Us
​
​The Company, although in its infancy, has a management team with many years of experience in Ferrous Metals, fabrication, and international commodity trading, making ORS a recognised player within the ferrous markets. This position will strengthen itself year on year.
​
The core business of the Company is providing a ‘Trade Desk Service’ to our Supplier Clients within this niche market. This encompasses the onboarding of new purchasing clients, trade engagement, managed trade services throughout the contract lifecycle, and assistance with all other related trade activities.
​
Our approach to business is structured around risk mitigation and profit maximisation. These two aspects remain paramount throughout all of the company’s engagements.
​
​
​
​In a market fraught with danger and false promises at every turn, we pride ourselves on the management of exposure to the market. We are realistic enough to know that even with our due diligence procedures in place, there is always the opportunity for error, and how the risk of this exposure and error is managed and controlled is an art form in itself.
​
We provide a fully structured pathway process for all company activities and ensure that all parties follow this guideline throughout the lifespan of any agreements.
​
This feature, plus our solid working relationships with clients and counterparties, ensures our approach to business remains a robust and attractive working model.
​
​The Ferrous market has seen a boom over the last two decades due to the increase in basic fundamentals, such as a wave of new technological advancements, a rise of personal wealth in third-world emerging markets, and a global increase in manufacturing. These three individual statistics alone have increased the demand for commodities such as steel and various base metals tremendously. We have seen the HRC Steel Futures Market increase from a low of £320.00mt in 2016 to reach a high of £ 1,500.00mt in 2021. Whilst volatile markets such as these are attractive to derivatives traders, price swings can have dramatic and detrimental impacts on commercial buyers securing products for their construction requirements.
​
Unfortunately for commercial buyers, even these prices are not available to purchase at, as there are minimum requirements, equalling 100s of tonnes at a time in their raw format that then need fabricating to the designated design specification and potentially shipping around the world.​​​
​​To ensure longevity within the market, a proactive approach is taken to secure new clients and to source additional supply channels. The trading desk is increasing in numbers, showing us that our perception towards professional and seamless transactions is fast becoming a proven method. The Company implements a very thorough Due Diligence and KYC/CIS vetting process with the assistance of the Company Bankers. Any new client must pass through this process before any formal or legal agreements are implemented.
​
With compliance-driven objectives, it is the responsibility of all businesses to adhere to an ethical and legal framework under which to transact on both a local and international basis. ORS has implemented a methodology that ensures seamless transactional capabilities whilst ensuring Regulatory Governance is upheld.
