Stephen Hall, Managing Director, elaborates on the company’ s history and evolution.“ Alan Fisher, the founder of AAS, originally worked in one of the superalloy industry’ s most recognized and pioneering companies, Ross & Catherall, now part of the Doncaster’ s Group, who remain a customer to this day,” Stephen begins.“ Alan saw an opportunity to build his own business and supply the growing UK superalloy production market, so in March 1993, he formed AAS with the backing of four investors and a total of £ 60,000.
“ Over the last 30 years, AAS has grown into a leading privately owned, independent supply company with 40 employees and a turnover of more than £ 50 million. Alan remained MD for over 23 years until 2016, when I joined and took over the company’ s day-to-day operations. The business continued to expand rapidly, and we moved to a 44,000-square-foot purpose-built facility in 2017.
“ In 2018, Alan retired from the business, shortly prior to the completion of a management buyout in 2019, which saw me take full ownership and control under Advanced Alloy Services( Holdings) Ltd. Shortly after, AAS formed a joint venture( JV) with Revert Alloys & Metals( RAM), called Advanced Revert LLC( AR), to further enhance international trade, with a specific focus on the US market.
