Rodney Burns, President of Metals ‘R’ Us, has been working with metals for most of his working life. In 1984, he started Rod’s Machine Shop in Dartmouth. When one of his largest suppliers of cut metals, W.A. Moir, went out of business in 1992, Burns bought a lot of its stock and hired some of the sales staff. He officially unveiled Metals ‘R’ Us in 1997. His son Melvin became the owner/operator of Rod’s Machine Shop. Today Metals ‘R’ Us has nine employees, brisk sales and a great reputation.
