Steel relighting is a welcome beacon of good news

Comment

Its great news and much needed boost to the area. Whole families including mine lived and worked around the steel and iron works of Cargo Fleet, Dorman long and I worked for Davy McKee who built Redcar's new blast furnace in the first place for British steel. I can confirm that the re lining of a blast furnace and one as big as Redcar would easily take 9 months if not more. Ravenscraig took at least that when I was there. In the days of British steel productivity was pretty poor and I am sure with the new owners it will be significantly better not just due to automation but also better processes and the real hunger of the workforce.
