British Steel Corporation

The British Steel Corporation was a major UK company formed in 1967 to manage and modernize the country's steel industry. It centralized many regional steelworks that were previously operated independently, aiming to improve efficiency and competitiveness. Over time, it faced challenges from global competition, and parts of its operations were privatized or sold off in the 1980s. Today, its legacy continues through various companies that evolved from its former plants, helping to shape the UK’s steel manufacturing landscape.
