Empowering Industry Partnerships

Our platforms provide Industry Partners with direct access to a wide range of fabricators and manufacturers. This targeted approach ensures that your products and services are showcased to the most relevant audience, maximising potential leads and business opportunities whilst optimising your membership investment.

Increased Brand Visibility

Gain prominent exposure on Irish Steel’s new website and members-only app. This visibility puts your brand in front of key industry players, enhancing your network and establishing your company as a leading figure in the sector.

Targeted Advertising Solutions

Utilise bespoke advertising opportunities on our digital platforms to reach a specialised audience. These tailored solutions are designed to highlight your unique offerings, ensuring that your message resonates with the fabricator membership group.

Recommendations & Introductions

We at Irish Steel have built a good reputation for offering reliable guidance. Our knowledge comes from years of listening to fabricators and moderating the WhatsApp group so when a fabricator or manufacturer asks for a recommendation, we know who the best partner teams in the market are for us to recommend and introduce.

Strategic Networking Opportunities

Leverage strategic networking opportunities at our events. Whether through delivering speeches, hosting stalls, or engaging in one-on-one conversations, these interactions are valuable for building relationships and enhancing your business's reputation within the industry.

Collaborative Business Growth

Engage in a cooperative environment that encourages business growth among all members. By connecting with fabricators and manufacturers, Industry Partners can explore new business avenues, make new sales, co-create innovative solutions, and potentially embark on joint ventures that benefit all parties involved.

We have a number of distinct channels to enhance your exposure:

  1. Member’s app on phones (to replace our WhatsApp group) and Member’s Hub on computers (totally new)
  2. Advertising on our website and on the Irish Steel App
  3. Regional seminars where industry partner members and fabrication and manufacturing business owner members & their managers get together in one place in a relaxed environment for learning, knowledge-sharing, socialising & doing business together – sponsorship and advertising opportunities details are to be announced early in 2024
  4. Awards Dinner & Gala Night which is a very special annual event that will be hosted again next October – sponsorship and advertising opportunities details are to be announced early in 2024.

We’re dedicated to helping every single one of our members build more resilient and successful businesses and we can help industry partner-members to position themselves as one of the most recognised go-to suppliers or service providers to Irish manufacturers. We also facilitate introductions and we will make recommendations for industry partners but only subject to positive feedback coming from the fabricator membership group.

During our networking events, you may want to deliver informative speeches or set up a small stall for interaction to take place – rest assured that all of our events will be formatted to help support the growth and acceleration of industry partner businesses whilst reinforcing the credibility and strength of the association.

At Irish Steel, we believe that coming together is just the beginning. Keeping together is progress but working together is success.

2024 President's Letter

Hello everyone,

I’d like to begin this letter by expressing my immense pride and privilege in being the inaugural President of Irish Steel. Our organisation is dedicated to aiding SMEs in the metalwork fabrication and manufacturing industry across Ireland, aiming to fortify and advance their businesses. We are committed to supporting our members in enhancing their business performance and competitive edge by fostering connections for the exchange of knowledge, ideas, and experiences.

The term “Knowledge sharing” may seem abstract, but in the context of Irish Steel, it translates to empowering industry professionals to achieve success! Our focus is on aiding industry members in becoming more professional, profitable, connected, and organised.

My initial encounter with the benefits Irish Steel offers was in 2016 when I joined and was added by Pat to the WhatsApp group he established to connect fabricators nationwide. Shortly after joining, while on a job in Cork, we faced a shortage of 16 special bolts. Despite efforts, no supplier could fulfil our need. I reached out through the WhatsApp group, and remarkably, within hours, a fellow member whom I'd never met before drove over a hundred miles to assist me. This experience truly showcased the incredible potential of connecting individuals who share similar day-to-day challenges.

Such instances are a daily occurrence at Irish Steel, where the team actively provides practical support to its members.

The organisation experienced challenges during the Covid lockdowns, which impacted many people and businesses. However, Irish Steel has now reinvigorated itself, moving past the dark days of Covid. The Association is investing heavily, emerging stronger, more focused, and better than ever. I am honoured to be part of this team, which organised the first-ever awards ceremony tailored for the metalworking industry in Ireland. It was extraordinary to witness so many like-minded individuals gathered, celebrating achievements, and fostering business relationships. I eagerly anticipate the 2024 Irish Steel Awards Dinner & Gala Night.

Earlier, I mentioned the power of connections. Being allied with this team, benefiting from their knowledge, experience, and network, is something that industry members should earnestly consider.

Irish Steel is managed by industry veterans who have established a vast network of members, both domestically and internationally. They have also convened a cadre of technical and business expert consultants aligned with Irish Steel to serve our members. This team, proficient in steel fabrication, manufacturing, and various aspects of running successful manufacturing and contracting businesses, is dedicated to helping members reduce waste, avoid errors, prevent financial losses, build resilience, stimulate growth, innovate, ensure safety, comply with legal requirements, boost profits, diversify, innovate, and scale – the list is extensive.

Kind regards,

Fergus Naughton

2024 President of Irish Steel
