Why Hillfoot?
Established in 1923, we’ve built our business on a commitment to excellent customer service and outstanding technical expertise, coupled with a 21st century approach to sustainability.
History
Founded in 1923, we're one of the oldest and most established engineering steel suppliers, with clients across the UK and around the globe.
During this time we've not only established our own reputation for excellence but made a wider contribution to the development of an industry that we're immensely proud to be a part of.
Our encyclopaedic knowledge of steel has seen us become one of the largest steel stockholders in the UK, and establish long-term relationships as the steel supplier of choice to major companies.
It has also awarded us a reputation for providing reliable technical expertise and innovative solutions.

Environmental & Social Governance
A proud heritage. A sustainable future.
Steel has an incredible industrial heritage and it’s a material that plays a fundamental role in all our lives. Which is why we’re constantly looking at what we do, and how we do it, with a 21st century approach to sustainability.
Ethical. Responsible. Accountable.
Ethical business is good business. It’s as simple as that, which is why we’re fully transparent in our business dealings, with a rigorous approach to ensuring that our products are ethically sourced and free from conflict materials.
We also have systems in place to safeguard against any form of modern slavery taking part within our supply chain.
Hillfoot in the community
As well as running our business as ethically and environmentally friendly as possible, we're committed to supporting our local community through both charitable work such as the Children's Hospital Charity and commercial sponsorship of the Sheffield Steelers.
At Hillfoot we're a community of people who not only come to work to do a great job, but to reach out to causes and interests that inspire us.
The drivers behind all this are people at all levels within Hillfoot. It's a shared, company-wide expression that is steered by Hillfoot employees rather than led by senior management.
Social Governance
Whilst our primary aim is to run a profitable, sustainable business, we’re also conscious of our wider responsibilities to the environment, the people who work for us, and the local community in which we operate. Our business decisions and investments are always made, and reviewed, with each of these in mind.
