Growing recycling business helps conserve natural resources

Our growing recycling business line is driving  our strategy to conserve natural materials and promote circularity by recycling, reusing and reducing the use of primary raw materials.

We have opened a new recycling hub at our Appleford depot in Oxfordshire, with plans  for six more in development. This network  of recycling hubs will allow us to provide our customers with the most sustainable products, enabling them to build more, with less. 

We have also acquired leading recycling  company Mick George Limited (MGL) and  Bristol-based construction soil and aggregate recycling company B&A Group, which will help  us embrace the opportunities the construction waste sector offers.

MGL specialises in recycling and waste management services, operating around  40 recycling facilities, waste transfer stations, aggregate quarries and ready-mixed concrete plants in East Anglia and the East Midlands.

B&A Group employs a team of 70 and specialises in the supply of recycled and primary aggregate as well as site clearance, earthworks, land remediation and sustainable land regeneration.
