Walkersteel is a major steel processing company based in Blackburn, Lancashire. The firm was originally established by Charles Walker before his son Jack Walker turned the business into a major company.

The company was sold to British Steel plc in 1989 for a fee in excess of £300million^{[citation needed]} - which helped fund Jack Walker's takeover of Blackburn Rovers in early 1991.^{[citation needed]} By this time, the steel company was achieving profits worth close to £50million a year, though the onset of the recession saw the steel market suffer a major slump.^{[citation needed]}

The brand was revived following Jack Walker's death but is linked in name only.^{[citation needed]}
