This very direct offer was put by Donald Mackay to the owner of Alsop & Sons Wheelwright business. The deal was struck with a handshake over the anvil. So began the Mackay family business on the East Road site in June 1912. On this site we have seen historic developments. We have built some of the worlds first Radio telescopes, also the first crystal growing chambers for the high tech industry. We have developed and patented a unique method of building spiral staircases and lots more highly prestigious projects.
We also offer an in store key cutting service. Please phone 01223 517000 for details.
We are specialist suppliers of metal, steel, aluminium, bronze and copper. We have been supplying metal throughout the UK for over 100 years and have been selling metal online since 2006. We offer a massive range of types, materials and sizes which cater to all kinds of use for both the industrial user all the way to the DIY enthusiast. There is no minimum order so we can supply you with as little or as much as you need. We cut to size, no size too small. We also offer small scale fabrication in our light engineering department.
Very approachable and helpful staff. They fixed my drum leg and just charged for the tiny parts - about 40p. A drum specialist would have charged a lot more!
Wonderful place! Old fashioned values and marvellous stock. Friendly helpful staff. I have been going here for 30 years and never not found what I want and have always had fantastic service. Parking available too and a marvellous metal workshop. Viisiting is a must even just for the gardening department
My favourite store in Cambridge. A huge range of products, great deals and excellent staff. Also Dickie is always very welcoming when you walk past the shop too
RIP Captain Tom you inspired us all in our time of need. A very sad day for the nation.
New stocks have arrived in for the New Year celebrations. Let's see this particularly awful year out with a seriously large BANG. Save yourself the trouble queuing by buying early. We hope we have enough stock for what is sure to be large demand.
