... The third part of our business is focused on the production of low carbon concrete products. Following our recent acquisition of Monster Mix, we utilise our recycled aggregates in the supply of sustainable concrete products and services
minerals and horticultural materials. Today, the business has a turnover in excess of £ 20 million and employs over 100 people.
“ We’ re currently executing a buy and build growth strategy which led to the acquisition and vertical integration of Monster Mix, a local concrete business. Moving our recycled products into concrete to produce low carbon, sustainable materials locally is key to our strategy.
“ Broadly speaking, the company’ s operations can be broken down into three business divisions: waste and recycling, our aggregate production supply and merchant business, and now our concrete business. We provide skip services and waste recycling to homeowners and retail customers all the way through to large multinationals. We collect material and directly recycle up to 98 per cent of the waste received at our facility. Materials such as wood, plastics and metals are separated, and any residual material goes to a local energy from waste facility, powering homes, schools, hospitals and business. Finally, we receive the byproduct from the energy facility and turn it into sustainable aggregates too – it’ s an amazing example of circular economies in action locally.
Investing in equipment
The second part of the business is centred around the production and supply of sustainable aggregates coupled with a more traditional, decorative aggregate business, supplying materials to local landscape gardeners and builders.
Receiving waste from utility companies and demolition projects, at our processing facility, we turn that material into new, recycled aggregates. Coupled with that, from our quarry, we process horticultural products such as topsoil, along with traditional sands for building and asphalt.
