Earlier this year we commenced operations at our new recycling facility at Berkswell quarry near Birmingham.

Through a strategic partnership with HD Ricketts Ltd, one of our key customers in the Midlands, we were able to utilise both their expertise and equipment to start producing recycled aggregates safely, quickly and efficiently. As a result, materials that were being imported in to Berkswell for restoration are now being diverted to the recycling operation to produce a range of materials from recycled sands to construction fills.

Phil Constable, Commercial Manager for Aggregates UK North, said: “The strategic partnership model we have developed at Berkswell allows us to work closely with existing customers and fast track our recycling business safely and efficiently. As we learn, we will quickly develop this model to ensure we grow our presence and expertise in the Circular Economy through Berkswell, thereby contributing to a sustainable future for the business as a whole.”
