About Northern Steel Supplies

Expertise & Experience You Can Count On

Northern Steel Supplies is a business where expertise, reliability, flexibility, and value come together to support your steel needs! Founded by Ben Medlen, a seasoned professional with over 20 years in the steel industry, Ben established Northern Steel Supplies to provide a personalised and responsive approach to steel supply. Throughout his career, Ben worked with some of the biggest names in the industry, gaining invaluable insights into the intricacies of steel supply, distribution, and project requirements.
Ben recognised that “big business” sometimes resulted in a lack of flexibility, slower decision-making and often left smaller clients, like farmers, tradies, landscapers, and DIY enthusiasts struggling to access competitively priced steel. This inspired him to set up Northern Steel, to bridge the gap and offer the personal service and adaptability of a small business, combined with the expertise, extensive product range, and reliable delivery networks of larger firms.
