About Us

The Ripley Group is one of the UK’s leading scrap metal processers and exporters. A highly respected fourth-generation family business, we now have five UK sites located at Hailsham, Hastings and Newhaven in East Sussex as well as two at Ashford in Kent.

Our success is based on a highly professional, innovative and customer-focused approach. We are totally committed to meeting the individual metal recycling requirements of UK and international customers in terms of both quality and price - and employ the very latest technology to do so.

We accept scrap metal and materials from everyone from householders to large multi-national companies. Then, after processing and recycling them, we sell the resulting high-grade products to the world’s largest metal refiners in the UK, Germany, Italy, Spain, France, India and the Far East, amongst other locations.
