The site is being registered with the Quality Scheme for Ready-Mixed Concrete (QSRMC). It is providing high-quality concrete and screed, available for collection or delivery using 4m³, 6m³ and 8m³ sized vehicles.

Peter Andrew, Hills Quarry Products' (HQP) Group director, said the new Gloucester site will greatly expand HQP's geographical trading area.

Andrew said it will also enhance the level of service HQP can provide its customers, with a mini-mix service now available from all the business's concrete plants.
