Join the Back British Metals Supporter Network
Back British Metals (BBM) is an independent, cross-sector initiative uniting the UK metals and critical materials community to secure a sustainable, resilient, and competitive future.
We bring together businesses, professionals, and organisations across the value chain—from primary producers and recyclers to fabricators, engineers, academia, and end users. Together, we are championing the essential role metals play in building Britain’s industrial resilience, decarbonisation pathway, and economic growth.
Our mission is to:
- Promote UK metals as a strategic national asset
- Secure smarter government policy and long-term industrial investment
- Champion a circular economy and sustainable supply chains
- Raise the public profile and political voice of the sector
