More about Breedon Aggregates
Breedon Aggregates is the largest independent aggregates business in the UK after the four global majors. It operates more than 50 quarries, nearly 30 asphalt plants, around 60 ready-mixed concrete plants and three concrete block plants in England and Scotland and employs approximately 1,200 people. The group has strong asset backing, with over 500 million tonnes of mineral reserves and resources in the UK. Breedon Aggregates' strategy is to continue growing organically and through consolidation of the UK heavyside building materials sector.
In November 2015 Breedon announced its intention to acquire Hope Construction Materials Limited for £336 million. The acquisition is expected to complete later this summer, creating the UK's largest independent building materials group with one of the country's largest cement plants, around 60 quarries, more than 200 ready-mixed concrete plants and approximately 750 million tonnes of mineral reserves and resources.
