Reflects the company's strong profitability and operational efficiency across its core businesses.
- 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.
