Here is a financial update for Materials from Laurence Dagley…

“I’m pleased to say that we have had another good month in terms of our results. Volumes were close to budget in both Aggregates and Readymix, helped by the warm February weather. We are also still doing well on holding our budgeted price increases. All of that led to our profits for UK Materials being ahead of budget – so really well done to everyone.

It is an excellent start so let’s maintain the focus both commercially and operationally, as we know there could still be the odd ‘bump’ as we head through the year.”
