On 18th September the two millionth tonne of Aggregate was loaded and left Dove Holes by rail destined for Salford depot. Despite the challenging market across the UK this milestone has been achieved three weeks earlier than last year.
Well done and thanks to all involved. This has only been achieved with everybody from Dove Holes Operations, Rail Load, Supply Chain, Depot Management and Commercial colleagues all coming together to generate the stone and the sales for this important route to market.
Every train moved takes up to 75 trucks off the UK Roads, therefore, this achievement supports our Future In Action strategy. Using rail freight to transport approximately 1,800 tonnes per train movement, helps us to reduce our CO2 emissions.
