Aggregates group adds on acquisition

Aggregates group Breedon has added to its mini mix businesses with the acquisition of a North East business.

It has bought Express Minimix, a mini mix concrete operator which has a fleet of 25 mixer trucks operating across the North of England and parts of Scotland.

Breedon’s current mini mix businesses work across Midlands, East Anglia and parts of southern England. Express Minimix will draw material from Breedon’s local ready-mixed concrete plants and extend the group’s reach across the north of the UK.

Mike Pearce, managing director of Breedon GB Materials, said: “Express Minimix is a great bolt-on acquisition for Breedon, it further strengthens our position in a key market for us and extends our market leading product and service offering for both new and existing customers.”
