Steel reinforcement for chamber
Dorset Chamber has strengthened the ranks of its platinum business partners with leading structural steel firm John Reid & Son Ltd (REIDsteel).

REIDsteel continues support for schools through Young Chamber
John Reid & Sons Ltd (REIDsteel) has continued its support for Twynham School and The Grange School through its renewed sponsorship of the Young Chamber programme.
Both of the Christchurch schools were among the first members to join the Dorset Chamber initiative and have now been able to sign up for a second year.
Managing Director Simon Boyd said: “It is no secret that the engineering sector is currently facing a skills shortage.
“As a growing business with UK and worldwide projects to deliver, it is imperative that we engage with the next generation of potential engineers, draughtspeople and skilled steel and sheet metal workers, as well as those who will be involved with the managerial and administrative aspects of our organisation.
“Young Chamber is one of the programmes we are working with to address this, now.
“Both The Grange and Twynham schools have a great ethos and we are delighted to be supporting them through the Young Chamber for a second year.”
REIDsteel is an award-winning […]
Simon was voted back onto the board at the chamber’s annual meeting, along with fellow directors and president Caron Khan, vice-president Tony Brown and new honorary treasurer Lesley Fox.
Simon first joined the board in March 2019 and acts on a voluntary basis as a non-exec director alongside his role as REIDsteel managing director and his many other commitments, including his membership of the Confederation of British Industry’s (CBI) manufacturing council.
REIDsteel is also a Platinum Business Partner of the chamber, which is Dorset’s leading business support organisation and the county’s voice of business. The company has also been a sponsor of the chamber-organised Dorset Business Awards.
REIDsteel has the community at its heart and is proud to support its local chamber and help it drive forward the economy.
