Mason's Launch Pioneering Scrap Metal Recycling Membership Scheme For Customers
January has seen the launch of our new customer membership scheme.
We are very pleased to say that the Express and Star felt that this was a news worthy event and gave the scheme and hopefully our industry a bit of a boost. Follow the enclosed link or see the blog image for the full story.
Having grown tired of constant bad press and not wanting to be tarred with the stereotypical brush we've decided to show our business and our customer base in a different light.
Obviously metal theft is happening on a unpresedented scale - a very worrying trend as this effects us all. However most metal recycling company's including ourselves and at our level within the industry do not condone and actively work to keep such stolen metal from their doors.
We also believe that our customer base feels the same; that they visit our premises because they see things are done correctly. Transfer notes are filled out, cctv is in operation and that their fellow customers are genuine too.
From January this year any return customer is welcome to become a Mason Metals Member. A voluntary scheme which offers the customer the option to store with us a copy their ID. We then issue them with a card and no. proving they have supplied us with ID in the last 12 months.
We envisage that the law regarding scrap metal transactions will change and at the very least ID will become mandatory - once you are a member this removes the issue of bringing such ID repeatedly to site. It will also make transactions easier and quicker. This efficiency should also be a driver to customers signing up.
We are very pleased to say that our customers have reacted very positively to what we are trying to achieve. The numbers signed up so far are very pleasing and I'll keep you informed on those in the coming months.
Hopefully the scheme will go some way to proving to the authorities that a properly run metal recycling business can operate a cash payment system. If a person or business is not operating correctly then we trust the law will deal with them appropriately and be given the power to close them down.
