On Wednesday 27th September the 2 millionth tonne left Dove Holes by rail this year. In what has been a challenging year with Network Rail strikes and major network infrastructure improvement works in the area, all preventing us from running services earlier in the year, this comes only a couple of weeks later than last year.
None of this is possible without the efforts of everyone involved in Aggregates Ops, Urbanisation Solutions, Commercial & Supply Chain teams to continue to move the material in the quantities we do.
This is a benefit to the overall OCF (operating cash flow) of the Materials Business and is a key strategy in our Future in Action targets.
