About

Pool is a boutique advisory specialising in market risk management and commercial strategy for the ferrous supply chain. The firm was founded by industry practitioners with experience across trading desks, steelmaking operations, scrap and recycling, raw-material procurement and market intelligence. This gives us a clear understanding of how exposure develops inside ferrous businesses and how commercial performance is affected by market volatility.

We focus on the areas where companies often need specialist support: analysing how their value streams respond to market movements, benchmarking commercial performance and developing strategies that manage risk using both exchange-traded and OTC tools. Our work reflects the operational realities of the sector and the way decisions are made across trading, procurement and production.

Pool’s approach is straightforward and analytical. We help clients build the internal processes, reporting structures and controls needed to implement strategies reliably, and we support execution and training as those strategies move into day-to-day use. Our goal is to bring clarity, structure and discipline to commercial decisions in a complex and volatile market.
