For many years, customers and partners have known us as Anchor Magnets - a specialist supplier of magnetic and ferrous materials, built on technical expertise, reliability, and long‑term relationships. As our business has grown, so too has the scope of what we do.
Introducing Anchor Group is a natural next step in that journey.
This blog explains why we expanded, what it means for our customers, and how Anchor Group positions us for the future.
From Specialist Supplier to Group Structure
Anchor Magnets began over 40 years’ ago with a clear focus: supplying high‑quality magnetic and ferrous materials backed by deep technical knowledge and dependable service. Over time, our capabilities expanded beyond a single product category.
We now support customers across multiple specialist areas - from magnetic and ferrous materials, to lead-free radiation shielding and printable and sustainable media. While each area requires its own expertise, they share the same foundations: technical expertise, problem‑solving experience, and a commitment to quality.
As the breadth / scope of our capabilities increased, it became clear that our original structure no longer fully reflected what we do today.
Anchor Group is simply a clearer way of presenting our expanded capabilities under one unified name, while preserving the specialist focus that customers value.
What Is Anchor Group?
Anchor Group brings together our specialist business units under a single group identity:
- Anchor Magnets – magnetic and ferrous materials for a wide range of industrial, commercial, and technical applications
- Anchor Shielding – UK supply of lead-free radiation shielding materials and products for critical and regulated environments
- Anchor Materials – printable and sustainable media solutions such as Display Cling
Each business unit continues to focus on what it does best, supported by shared expertise, investment, and infrastructure across the group.
This structure allows us to maintain specialist focus while strengthening how we support customers across multiple needs.
Why We Expanded
The decision to introduce Anchor Group wasn’t about change for the sake of it. It was driven by how our customers’ needs are evolving and how we can best support them long term.
By operating as Anchor Group, we can:
- Invest further in specialist products and innovation across all parts of the business
- Support customers with a broader range of materials as their requirements grow or change
- Make it easier to work with us, especially for customers engaging with more than one part of the business
In short, this structure helps us serve our customers better - both today and in the future.
What Isn’t Changing
While the group structure is new, the things our customers rely on remain the same:
- The people you already know and speak to
- The quality, service, and reliability you expect
- The products, expertise, and technical support you trust
All existing relationships remain unchanged. Anchor Group is an evolution of how we present ourselves.
Looking Ahead
We’re excited about this next chapter and what it enables us to do for our customers. Anchor Group gives us the clarity, flexibility, and investment framework to continue growing responsibly while staying true to our specialist roots.
