The brilliant son of a chemist, Joseph Ash founded Joseph Ash Galvanizing Ltd in Birmingham in 1857. With a unique vision focused upon technical expertise and outstanding levels of customer care, the company grew from strength to strength in the UK and now operates nine plants located in Bilston, Bridgend, Chesterfield, Corby, Hull, Medway, Telford, Walsall and Widnes.
Technical expertise and customer care are the guiding principles which have steered Joseph Ash for over 160 years. These remain at the core of everything we do and are not only in evidence through the quality of technical work we deliver, but through the additional services we provide, which include:
Hot dip galvanizing at Joseph Ash plants adhere to the coatings requirements of BS EN ISO 1461 and BS EN ISO 9000 quality assurance specifications. (View our Quality Policy.)
The health and safety of our people is also of the utmost importance, and we have committed to providing a safe place to work. This is demonstrated through our frequent RoSPA awards year-on-year, as well as our Health and Safety Policy and Epidemics Policy and Procedures.
Our Joseph Ash Medway plant has been granted approved galvanizer status by Akzo Nobel for one-stop-shop services. We are also one of only a handful of approved Akzo Nobel and IGP paint applicators, and the only one to be based in the South East.
Joseph Ash works hard to protect the environment through an ever-growing list of recycling activities with processes supported by an Environmental and Sustainability Policy.
