The Blueprint for a Strong Steel Strategy

This is the first episode in a series exploring urgent steps needed for the UK steel industry “not just to survive, but to thrive”.

We’re already moving at pace with our £1.25 billion decarbonisation plans, backed by the UK Government.

Yet, critical investments like our Electric Arc Furnace facility will only reach its full potential if robust, clear and consistent policies are introduced to overcome the huge challenges our sector faces.

Hosts Tim Rutter and Abi Thomas, are joined by experts such as Lord Rupert Redesdale and UK Steel Director Gareth Stace, to reflect on urgent challenges, from market pressures and tariffs to the need for clear government strategy.

Filmed at the September 2025 UK Metals Expo, this series explores what’s needed to build a sustainable, competitive future for Tata Steel UK and the wider supply chain with insights from top voices across the sector.
