• Past situation UK:
– 5 different mills delivering to 9
different ports for serving 5
customer regions in UK.
– No Co-ordination
– Competition between the mills

• Current strategy UK:
– 5 different mills delivering to
Boston 6 different ports for serving
Liege
P.Sutton bridge
5 customer regions in UK.
W-Midlands – Gent as hub for inland mills
– Co-ordination between the
mills and further relocation
