The 3rd September is known across the country as Merchant Navy Day, where we recognise our dependence on modern day merchant seafarers. This includes our Marine team who transport a huge amount of Aggregates every year – thank you for your hard work and dedication!
The Red Ensign, or ‘Red Duster’ as it is affectionately known, shown in the images, has been the recognised flag of the British Merchant Navy since 1854.
Thank you to all those in our Marine division to the considerable contribution you make to the success of the business.
Please Note – this photo was taken on Merchant Navy Day last year before the Coronavirus pandemic, so no social distancing rules were broken for this story!)
