More information about BREEDON GRP. ORD GBP0.01

Breedon Group plc is the largest independent construction materials group in the UK. We operate the country's largest cement plant, two cement import terminals, around 60 quarries, 26 asphalt plants, 200 ready-mixed concrete & mortar plants and three concrete block plants, employing around 2,300 people nationwide. The group has strong asset backing, with over 750 million tonnes of mineral reserves and resources. Breedon’s strategy is to continue growing through consolidation of the UK heavyside building materials sector. In 2016 we completed our largest acquisition to date: the £336 million purchase of Hope Construction Materials, a leading independent producer of cement, cementitious products, aggregates and ready-mixed concrete. This was closely followed by the purchase of Durham-based Sherburn Minerals Group, providing us with two cementitious import terminals in the north of England and Scotland, together with a further five quarries and four ready-mixed concrete plants. We operate as three autonomous divisions. Breedon Southern and Breedon Northern are both fully-integrated aggregates businesses with extensive networks of quarries, ready-mixed concrete and asphalt plants and well-established surfacing & contracting operations. Breedon Cement is the UK's only independent producer and importer of cement and cementitious products, with national reach through an extensive rail network and strategically located local depots.
