Peter Comerford and Mike Bolton are The Metal Guys! They have worked in the metal sector for over 10 years, a huge global industry that produces more than a billion tonnes of material annually and affects all other industries and walks of life. They now run a successful recruitment and marketing company servicing the metal and engineering sectors, making them ideally placed to provide impartial, independent insight into the industry, sitting outside the hierarchy of the various stages of the industry from raw material to finished product. Under the moniker of The Metal Guys, the pair continue to gain insights from - and ask the difficult questions to - the decision makers and technical experts that you won't hear on any other podcast. If you produce, work with or supply metal, then tune in and join the conversation.

episode S02E02 | Sustain Steel with Richard Curry cover

S02E02 | Sustain Steel with Richard Curry

In this episode we were joined by Richard Curry who is part of the Sustain Steel Project at the University of Swansea. The SUSTAIN project aims to deliver cutting edge science and the engineering research required to create carbon neutral, resource-efficient UK steel supply chains. Amongst other things we talk about: * The circular steel economy * Scrap, and the competitive position the UK finds itself in * Energy and the issue of a green energy agenda * The key deliverables of the Sustain project This podcast was recorded in October 2021, so there has been much change with since the recording was made, notably with the invasion of Ukraine by Russia, and the spike in fuel and energy costs. It is yet to be seen how much of an impact this will have on UK manufacturing, but it was already an issue to discuss at the point of recording this podcast, and is a topic area featured in September 2022's edition of the Metal Magazine. Worrying times indeed.

episode S01E09 | The future of Laser Technology with Edwin Kroon of Lion Lasers cover

S01E09 | The future of Laser Technology with Edwin Kroon of Lion Lasers

This podcast has taken a while to release, but it is just as relevant today, as it was when we initially recorded it. If you have any interest in lasers, then this should open your mind to a whole range of possible uses outside of just cutting holes and shapes in tubes and flat metal products. Edwin has a scientific background in biology, and on seeing a laser in action for the first time, became almost addicted to the possibilities of this technology. We talked about the following in this podcast: * Laser applications in the aerospace sector * How we can learn from nature and apply those structures to metals * The potential benefits of laser in commercial applications * Why the medical sector could be a huge market for the laser industry * More typical applications and the benefits to industry * The limitations of etching and engraving due to time constraints * Laser technology, and the fastest speeds that we can possibly achieve If you work in the metal or engineering sector, then join the conversation. Let us know what topics you want to have featured on the show, or maybe YOU could join us as a guest. https://linktr.ee/comtongroup [https://linktr.ee/comtongroup]

J Heebink are an international logistics company servicing the Benelux, the German Ruhr, the United Kingdom and Ireland. Simon has been working in the freight sector for almost 40 years, so he has a wealth of experience, and gave us a candid view of how imports and exports to and from Europe had been affected since January 2021, and what customers need to do going forward to maintain the flow of materials to and from Europe. We recorded this podcast in early February 2021, just 5 weeks after the changes bought about by Brexit had begun. Take a listen to get a better understanding of what it is like being in the middle of the process, and for a variety of suggestions and advice to help you and your business in this first transition period. We talked about the following in this podcast: * Simon's Early Career, and what J Heebink offer to their clients * How prepared Logistics companies were for the changes that occurred in January 2021 * How Brexit impacted services in the first two weeks of January 2021 * How things have changed, now we are five weeks down the line * What the government could have done better * The cost implications and the changes to freight timescales * How companies can work to reduce the impact of the new border controls. * COVID and its impact since March 2020 Visit the J Heebink website to find out more about their logistics services: www.heebink.co.uk [https://www.heebink.co.uk/transport-england-uk/] If you work in the metal or engineering sector, then join the conversation.

SteelScout is a digital platform providing purchasing solutions for metal buyers in the UK. The business was set up in 2017 to address what they saw as inefficiencies in the supply chain for metal. In under four years they now have over 8,000 registered buyers and over 130 suppliers nationally, so it was great to talk to them about how they do what they do and what their thoughts were on the market in the metal sector. We were joined for this podcast late in 2020 by Neil Harvey (Head of Marketing) and Karl Evans (Head of Sales and Operations) and this episode covered the following topics: * Who are SteelScout * The impact COVID-19 has had on SteelScout * The development of SteelScout since 2017 * Digitalisation in the metal sector and the changes that we can expect to see. * Transactional Purchases vs Online Purchases. * Bringing a digital platform to market and the challenges this presented. * The goals going forward.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
