Wales’ leading scrap metal company
Making Metal Matter
Founded in 1932, the W. Harold John Group initially concentrated its activities in the merchanting of iron and steel scrap to supply the many locally situated steel works and foundries. The Group moved to a purpose built site in Newport in 1971, allowing for the growth of its processing capabilities. This site was the Headquarters and Trading Centre of the Group until 2025. when, WHJ merged with Fred Lloyd and moved to the Polo Grounds in Pontypool. This move allowed expansion of the Group’s interests into trading non-ferrous metal scrap both in the domestic and international market.
