What OPR GROUP does

OPR Group (legal entity: OPR Services Ltd, registered in England) is a London-headquartered metals trading firm specialising in the European steel sector. The company sources, finances, imports, and delivers steel products on behalf of established clients, acting as an intermediary between leading international mills and downstream buyers. Its product portfolio spans nine categories — Hot Rolled Coil, Cold Rolled Coil, Hot Dipped Galvanised Coil, Reversing Mill Plate, Rebar, Merchant Bar, Universal Beams & Columns, Ferrous Scrap, and Raw Materials — with multiple grade specifications per category and the ability to source additional grades on request. Distribution is direct to stockholders, steel processors, and fabricators, with downstream exposure to automotive and construction end-markets.

The firm is led by Founder & CEO Oliver Roe (commodities and structured trade finance since 2014, previously a senior trader at Gemcorp and earlier at RBRG Metalloyd and Roe Group) and Head of Steel Harry Busbridge (ex-European-leading London steel trading firm). The operating model is relationship-led B2B sales with no disclosed digital marketing, no app or platform product, and no proprietary technology stack; trade execution, financing arrangements, and logistics coordination are handled manually with support from a network of international charterers for breakbulk, container, and coaster shipping. Certifications held include ISO 9001:2015, CARES (reinforcement steel), and UKAS Management Systems.

Revenue is generated through transactional margin on steel trades combined with extended trade finance to clients (a capital-intensive component that requires working-capital deployment). Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The firm has six employees, is privately held with no disclosed external investment, and operates from 7th Floor, 29-30 Cornhill, London. No revenue figures, funding rounds, or audited financials are publicly available.
