over 40 years of heritage

Why choose Midland Lead?

We have a 40 year heritage here at Midland Lead of which we’re really proud! We’re the only UK lead manufacturer with an EPD (Environmental Product Declaration) for our lead sheet, which is made from 100% recycled lead. And we are a proactive member of the UK manufacturing industry, partnering with Make UK and supporting other local manufacturers via the East Midlands Manufacturing Network.

It’s not just the UK though – we enjoy working with international customers all over the world for construction, radiation protection and ballast applications. So whatever project you’re working on, we can provide technical expertise and efficient supply of lead products at competitive prices.

An introduction to Midland Lead

Ticking all our customers boxes

Customers often come to Midland Lead seeking better prices, or better assurances of quality. Sometimes they’re looking for good old-fashioned customer service, delivered by friendly experts, not chatbots. We pride ourselves on open communication, supplying ETAs or honest updates when occasionally things don’t go to plan. You’ll find Team Midland Lead approachable, friendly and easy to deal with, whether you want a single order of rolled lead, or a custom consignment of lead chevron bricks.

Family-Owned at Heart

Always growing, our ethos remains

We’ve grown quite a bit in 40 years – we’ve got a 13 acre site with 2 melting kettles, casting machine, sand-cast facility and 4 cutting lines, producing in excess of 20,000 tonnes of lead sheet annually. But that hasn’t changed the way we work, we’re still a family firm at heart. And it hasn’t changed who we work with. 

We have a strong history of supplying independent merchants - we understand the trade and we support the skills. We’ve always worked with small, medium and large companies – and we always will.

Background

“Midland Lead serves us well and on time. And we have a fantastic relationship with the sales team.”
