The Guardian | Czech energy group hints at combined bid for British Steel and Speciality Steel UK by Jasper Jolly

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

Sev.en Global Investments, the Czech billionaire Pavel Tykač’s firm, is urging the UK government to appoint a single buyer for British Steel and Speciality Steel UK (SSUK) in order to create the country’s largest steelmaker. The company, which bought the electric‑arc steelworks in Cardiff from Spain’s Celsa last year, says it will invest £100 million in the Cardiff plant and has “hundreds of millions” more available under its 7 Steel brand, including a potential hydrogen‑fuelled furnace and downstream processing that could avoid job cuts. Sev.en proposes that a buyer with existing steel expertise and a strong balance sheet would need less taxpayer support than the current fragmented situation, and it positions itself as a solid partner for the government’s long‑term plan. The bid comes as the government, which took control of British Steel after its Chinese owners threatened closure, seeks to resolve SSUK’s insolvency and navigate exclusive talks with a Norwegian startup. If successful, Sev.en could overtake Tata Steel as the UK’s biggest steel producer, while the recent 50 % protective tariffs on imported steel bolster its investment case.

The Guardian | Steel bosses warn ‘back door’ loophole in UK trade rules could lead to job cuts and closures by Alex Daniel

New measures will protect Tata and British Steel but allow foreign pre-made parts into the UK, say industry bosses

Steel bosses have warned ministers that a “back door” in new trade rules could hit British manufacturers and lead to job cuts and factory closures by allowing a vast array of foreign products to still enter the UK tax-free.

The loophole means pre-made steel parts ranging from bridge sections, columns and door frames, all the way to smaller rods and tubes used in buildings, will escape recently announced import tariffs, the Guardian understands.
