Breedon Group

Breedon Group plc is a vertically integrated international construction materials group, supplying aggregates, cement, asphalt, ready-mix concrete and surfacing solutions to the construction industry on a business-to-business basis. The company operates across Great Britain, Ireland and the United States, and is headquartered at Breedon on the Hill, Leicestershire. It describes itself as the largest independent construction materials business in the UK, and employs over 4,900 people.

The group controls every stage of production and delivery within its supply chain, from aggregates processing and cement production through to finished materials and services for customers ranging from major infrastructure projects to local building work. Its stated operating priorities include consistent quality, operational efficiency, innovation and sustainability.

Growth has been pursued through both acquisitions and organic expansion: the company has completed 27 acquisitions since its first full year of trading as Breedon. Operating across multiple jurisdictions and consolidating a fragmented market, the group handles a continuing volume of transactional, regulatory and commercial legal work alongside the contracting needs of a large-scale manufacturing and construction supply business.
