In Northern Ireland, the acquisition of Robinson Quarry Masters Limited, a family-run quarrying and concrete block business in Country Antrim, extends Breedon's footprint north of Belfast. Robinson Quarry Masters boosts the Group's aggregate reserves on the island of Ireland and has a well-established customer base with exposure to housing, commercial and infrastructure end-markets.
Breedon has also acquired two downstream businesses. Broome Bros. Limited is a leading manufacturer of concrete blocks based in Doncaster, South Yorkshire, adjacent to one of Breedon's existing ready-mixed concrete sites. Minster Surfacing Limited is an award-winning regional surfacing business based in Lincoln. The firm has strong sustainability credentials delivering a diverse portfolio of works from the Midlands to London.
Breedon chief executive officer Rob Wood said: "Many of our transactions come to us through our local knowledge and personal engagement with the owners. As a result, our active M&A pipeline has continued to yield high-quality, earnings-enhancing opportunities that will enable us to progress our sustainable growth strategy.
"Each of these independent family-run businesses is aligned with our vertically-integrated operating model, providing further opportunity to pull through upstream building materials while extending our downstream footprint to deliver profitable growth. We are delighted to welcome our new colleagues to Breedon and look forward to working with them."
