About the Employer

P.P. Profiles Ltd began life in the basement of a cotton mill in Walkden, Greater Manchester, in 1976. Following two successful years of trading, P.P.

Together, we combine our pioneering technology in profiling and post-cutting services to provide the best “one stop” steel service available. Our highly trained and motivated staff enable us to deliver a truly exceptional service to our customers.
