Company
Overview
Born from centuries‑old quarrying at Breedon on the Hill, the group surged into modernity after 2008, reshaping UK and Irish markets through savvy acquisitions.
With a vertically‑integrated model, it pulls raw aggregates straight through to finished products and surfacing services, serving projects across infrastructure, housing and industrial sectors.
In recent years its strategic beachhead in the US—through the acquisition of BMC and Lionmark in Missouri—has positioned it for North American growth.
Typical projects range from major roadworks and airport surfacing to residential foundations and industrial flooring.
Standout products include its flagship Golden Amber Gravel (a Royal‑Warranted driveway gravel) and specialist speedway shale used on international tracks.
