Shamrock Steel, Inc.

I was first considering starting my own busi- ness. He needed another supplier at the time, and he kept bugging me to go out on my own. He had confidence that I could do it, and he promised to give me my first order, which he did. Again, it’s people that come into your life, sometimes when you least expect it, that can change your life forever.” BVM: How would you sum up the best attri- butes of Shamrock Steel and what are your company’s goals for the future? McGahan: “The steel industry is very ‘green’ in that nothing is ever thrown away; it’s always recycled as scrap, and that’s a source of pride for all of us in the steel industry. We sell our ‘leftovers’ to a scrap company, they sell it to a steel mill, and maybe it comes back to me some day in the form of plate. We were recy- cling when recycling wasn’t ‘cool’ and I like that. “For the future, my goal is to continue working for as long as I possibly can. I feel obligated to my customers to keep it going for them, because I know there are many people relying on the service Shamrock Steel provides. I like making my customers’ lives easier. I purchase a lot of products myself, so I feel their pain when things aren’t on time.
