Apex Steel

Down at Neelam House on Bhandari Street, things are usually pretty heavy. We deal with steel, so there’s always a bit of dust and the sound of metal moving around. Being in the Pcntda area means we see a lot of industrial traffic. Our space at number 12 isn't much to look at, but it works for what we need. We spend a lot of time on the phone or checking the weight of the steel coming in. It’s a tough business. You get dirty hands and tired feet by the end of the shift. We started here because the location was good for trucks. Most of the guys have been here for years. We don't have a big marketing team or anything like that. It’s just us and the steel. Sometimes we sit outside on the steps when it gets too hot inside. The building itself has seen better days, but it’s sturdy. We know the other shop owners on Bhandari Street quite well. We share news about the market or just talk about the weather. It’s a straightforward way to earn a living. We don't use big words or have fancy meetings. If someone needs steel, they come to Neelam House and we see what we can do for them. The stacks of metal can get pretty high, so we have to be careful. It’s just another day at the warehouse for the team.
