Breedon expand operations at Clearwell Quarry

Breedon Aggregates

New market opportunities in west of England with acquisition of ready-mixed concrete plant

BREEDON Aggregates have expanded their operations at Clearwell Quarry, near Lydney, with the acquisition from Aggregate Industries of the ready-mixed concrete plant at the Gloucestershire site.

Clearwell – one of four quarries acquired from Marshalls plc in April last year – is one of the largest limestone quarries in the region and serves a wide range of customers in Gloucestershire and Monmouthshire.

 

The acquisition of Aggregate Industries’ concrete plant and its associated ready-mixed concrete trucks, which have operated at the site for a number of years, will significantly expand Breedon’s market opportunity in the region.

In addition to providing a new added-value outlet for Clearwell’s washed limestone sand, it will also allow the company, for the first time, to service the industrial, commercial and housing markets in and around the Forest of Dean.

Tim Hall, chief executive of Breedon Aggregates England, said: ‘It’s great to be open for business in ready-mix in Gloucestershire. This is our first plant in the west of England and our customers can look forward to the same outstanding local service that we offer from every one of our other 50 ready-mix businesses around the UK.’
