With scrap metal contributing to growth and infrastructure, it’s a vital aspect of commercial and municipal development.

J Davidson Scrap Metal Processors is proud to announce the brand new voice behind our latest radio ads – the North West’s very own Ricky Tomlinson!
Hailing from nearby Liverpool, Ricky is an award-winning actor and funnyman. You’ll probably recognise him from some of his well-known roles including Jim Royle in The Royle Family, DCI Charlie Wise in Cracker and Bobby Grant in Brookside back in the 80’s (those of us at J Davidson who remembered that one, showing our ages there!).
