We are proud to announce that Robert Lickley Refractories Ltd has formally signed the UK Steel Charter — a major step forward in our ongoing commitment to supporting Britain’s industrial base and strengthening the UK’s manufacturing future.
The UK Steel Charter, developed by industry body UK Steel, provides a practical framework for organisations to maximise their use of UK-produced steel in public and private projects. By signing the Charter, we join a growing network of forward-thinking businesses that recognise the critical importance of a robust domestic steel sector.
As a manufacturer of high-performance refractory products used across the UK’s steelmaking industry, we understand how vital it is to secure the resilience and competitiveness of our supply chains. The steel industry is not only essential to national infrastructure, defence, and energy — it also underpins thousands of jobs and entire regional economies.
Our support for the UK Steel Charter reflects our belief in long-term, sustainable industrial growth — one that values local sourcing, manufacturing excellence, and collaboration across the supply chain. We are committed to:
- Championing the use of UK steel wherever feasible
- Engaging openly with suppliers to improve transparency in procurement
- Supporting innovation, skills, and investment in the UK manufacturing base
By working together across industry, we can help ensure the UK remains a leader in high-quality, low-carbon industrial production.
We thank UK Steel for their leadership in this vital initiative and look forward to contributing actively as a signatory of the Charter.
