About John Lawrie

About us

Since the original John Lawrie scrap metal merchant operation was founded in Aberdeen in the 1930’s, the business has sustained an enviable track record in delivering for its clients.

Today the John Lawrie Group is an international group of companies with a presence throughout the UK and in USA, Canada, Scandinavia, Europe, China and the Middle East. Over the past 20 years, the group’s aggressive growth strategy has resulted in turnover increasing from £1million to around £100million per annum.

One of the Country’s leading privately-owned businesses, the John Lawrie Group employs around 100 staff throughout its world wide locations.

The hands-on approach of the senior management team, a dynamic business structure that allows the flexibility to respond quickly to customer requirements and new market opportunities, a workforce characterised by loyalty and expertise – all serve to sustain the quality of services and the continuing growth of the group.

As the John Lawrie Group works to diversify into new markets, both sectorally and geographically, it is confident that those same principals upon which the business was founded will see it continue to flourish – and deliver.
