UK: Breedon Group says that it has completed its acquisition of ready-mix concrete producer Hardcrete Minimix Concrete. The business will supplement the Breedon Minimix smaller-load ready-mix concrete offering in Greater London and Hertfordshire, including ‘strategically important’ sites at Luton, Stevenage, Theale and Woodham. Breedon Minimix supplies projects with lower volumes or sites with restricted access.

Breedon GB regional managing director, cement and building products, Ian Smith said that the move "Reflects our continued commitment to invest in businesses that strengthen our market position in key regions and support our long-term growth strategy as nationally-trusted concrete suppliers. With over 100 trucks operating out of more than 130 locations, we continue to lead the UK market in mini-mix concrete."
