Metals Forum

This article is part of the Climate project of Spinwatch.

The Metals Forum is an umbrella trade association and lobby group for the UK metals industry formed in 2004. According to its website it is;

'an alliance of metals industries employing nearly 400,000 people in businesses working in virtually every UK town and city. Each year, these businesses sell £50 billion of metals into engineering, construction, automotive, aerospace and other manufacturing sectors.'

According to its website, since 2004 the forum has 'represented the UK metals industry to government and the media and during this time has lobbied on key industry issues such as energy, transport and over-regulation.'

'The Forum is also recognised by the Department of Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform (now Department of Business, Industry and Skills) as one of the umbrella organisations that government sees playing an increasingly important role in representing industry views.'
