Plant focus: Spotlight on Hull
The Joseph Ash Group is home to nine strategically located galvanizing plants in the UK. Here, we spotlight Premier Galvanizing Hull, one of two Premier Galvanizing plants and our northern-most plant in the Group.

About Premier Galvanizing Hull
Premier Galvanizing’s first site was built in Hull, East Yorkshire, back in the year 2000. Situated on the River Humber with a bustling port, Hull became a central hub for importing and exporting goods.
Today, Premier Galvanizing Hull specialises in structural steel, architectural steel, and general fabrications and is part of the Joseph Ash Group since the company was acquired in 2015.

Premier Galvanizing Hull proudly offers a 24-48 hour turnaround time on galvanizing services for businesses across the North East (by prior arrangement). Areas serviced include Teesside, West Yorkshire, South Yorkshire, North Nottinghamshire, East Yorkshire, Humberside and surrounding areas, offering collection and delivery options to make the galvanizing process seamless.
