Business History

You need to know that you are dealing with a reputable business. I J. Kayes was originally founded back in 1969 by William Henry Kayes. In those days the business was carried out with hand carts and included both the rag and metal trade. The business was taken over in the mid 1980′s by the founders son, Ian Kayes. Since that time the business has expanded and been at the forefront of new developments in the industry.
The business began specialising in the recycling of metals, particularly vehicles. This saw the business become the first to acquire new modern technology to deal with these developments. Heavy lifting equipment and HGV vehicles were introduced to keep the business at the forefront of the industry. We even have a powerful metal shredder, allowing us to turn old metal into strips making it ready to recyle.

The business employs a number of friendly and knowledgeable staff to ensure you always receive the best of service and advice. Combined with a variety of different trucks, plant and machinery, you can be sure that we have the capability to deal with all matters related to scrap metal and end of life vehicle recycling.
