How to feature in The Metal Magazine

With this magazine, we provide a modern alternative to the traditional ‘trade magazine’, and as you’ve reached this page you’ll appreciate that it’s somewhat different to other magazines that have preceded it.

We genuinely and wholeheartedly believe that the stories that this industry has to tell can be engaging, entertaining and informative, and shouldn’t be reduced to a couple of paragraphs in 6pt font in the latter pages of a printed trade publication.

With our team of journalists, videographers, web developers and graphic designers, we can react quickly to breaking news and produce eloquent, entertaining and engaging videos and articles, to share with our global readership.

By presenting your news in this magazine, you will be presented to interested parties from across the spectrum of the metal industry - from mills to stockholders, manufacturers, fabricators and end users.

We would love to hear your feedback about the magazine, and welcome constructive comments.

We are keen to grow our base of regular contributors to the magazine, particularly where educational institutions and industry experts have valuable contributions to make to the development and progress of the industry as a whole.

We also welcome contact from companies and organisations looking to advertise their business in a news-led format.

For all contributor and advertising enquiries, please contact the team via:

contact@themetalmagazine.com

Alternatively, you can call the team during normal office hours (Mon-Fri 0800-1700 GMT) via:

+44 (0) 121 285 4287
