The move sees 50 staff move over to Barrett from their former employer and it boosts the company’s network to 27 locations across the UK.
The acquired site will now operate as Barrett Steel Shoreham.
Group Managing Director James Barrett said: “This acquisition allows the Group to develop its presence in the South of England which complements our existing processing hubs in the North.
“We are excited to welcome the Shoreham team to our business and are positive about the future of the steel industry.”
