Sir Gavin Williamson visited Matrix, a company that specialises in the international trading of secondary metals by manufacturing and supplying raw materials to global players.
Sir Gavin met with Ram Sonee, the owner of Matrix, to discuss how he might be able to support the company in their ambition to achieve a King’s Award for Enterprise. The company has a factory on the Four Ashes estate in South Staffordshire and employs from the local community. Sir Gavin was impressed by the company’s international reach, as they have recently secured contracts with metal manufacturers in Europe, India, and across the globe. The company reprocesses metals that would otherwise end up in landfill, thus playing a large part in the move towards using more sustainable materials. Sir Gavin was keen to support the company’s nomination for a King’s Award for Enterprise.
Sir Gavin said: “I was grateful to meet with Ram and his team at Matrix Corp, as their business plan which makes use of secondary metals for trade on the international market puts Staffordshire on the map. I’m keen to support the idea of diverting materials away from landfills, which inevitably overspill and defile the areas in which we live. I’m always looking to support Staffordshire businesses and will put my efforts into promoting Matrix Corp for a King’s Award.”
