WHO ARE WE?

Our grandfather, Charles Bates, began a metal and rag yard in Deptford in the early 1900s. After him, our father, Peter, and uncle, Michael, took care of the company and expanded it. They relocated from Deptford and settled the company in Bromley. After they passed away, we, Sam and Tom, are running the business with the help of Joe and Elizabeth.
