It’s fair to say that the official opening of All Steels Trading’s new sales office in Thirsk was a huge, fabulous and resounding success for all involved! It was fantastic to see so many familiar faces on the night, who have historically and who continue to happily play key supporting roles in AST’s business success and sustainability story. AST’s invited VIP business partners certainly helped to lend the celebrations an air of grandeur and glamour!

At the start of the evening Laurence McDougall (AST’s Managing Director) spoke with pride and joy about the intriguing journey that has brought AST to this momentous point. The opening night of celebration also provided a wonderful opportunity to publicly thank AST colleagues for their highly valued steadfast commitment, great team camaraderie, shared passion and insightful vision for the AST business. Without further ado the wide blue silk ribbon was adeptly cut by David Bamford (AST’s new office build architect) and the sound of champagne corks popping resounded in AST’s new state of the art Thirsk office building. We had certainly never envisaged previously just how easily AST's new Thirsk office reception foyer could be so magically transformed into a lively champagne/cocktail bar! Our party guests were also treated to some delicious cold and hot food beautifully prepared and served by staff from The Cleveland Tontine restaurant. Here's to celebrating the next notable AST business accolade!
