The railhead at our Attercliffe site in Sheffield has received an incredible 2.5million tonnes of Aggregates in the ten years since it has opened.

Of this, over 1.3million tonnes has been supplied to our external customers, 1million tonnes was for CEMEX’s nearby Concrete plants, predominantly those at Rotherham, Barnsley and Attercliffe itself, and finally more than 200,000 tonnes has been used by CEMEX’s Asphalt business.

This milestone figure demonstrates the strategic importance of the Rail Operation to the CEMEX business in the UK.

David Hart commented: “This is an incredible milestone for Attercliffe Railhead team and proves how safe and effective rail can be when transporting Aggregates. Most deliveries into this site take place at night allowing us to make the most of every hour of the day.

Congratulations to Steven Taylor, Plant Manager, and the team at Attercliffe for this achievement – we look forward to more than doubling this tonnage over the next ten years!”
