Breedon Group has locked in a deal to acquire Hardcrete Minimix Concrete as it continues to expand its national minimix concrete service.
The deal expands Breedon’s presence in the south of England, with Hardcrete set to continue serving customers in Hertfordshire, London and Middlesex. Hardcrete is the latest addition to Breedon’s minimix network, which also includes other brands like 1st Mix and Express Minimix.
“We’re delighted to welcome Hardcrete to the Breedon family. Their strong reputation and established presence support our ambitious plans to grow the Minimix brand across the country,” Breedon GB general manager for minimix Jeremy Edinborough said.
“The Hardcrete brand and team will continue to operate in the way they always have. They’ve been part of its success historically, and will be in the future too.
“This acquisition is a big step forward as we increase throughputs at strategically important sites such as Luton, Stevenage, Theale and Woodham.”
Hardcrete administration and compliance manager Joely Fletcher paid tribute to his parents’ efforts to build the business into what it is today.
“I have been fortunate enough to watch my parents work extremely hard to create and develop Hardcrete from the ground up over the last 25 years and I’ve helped to manage it for almost 13 of those years,” he said.
“Being acquired by the Breedon Group is extremely exciting for the future of Hardcrete because it means that we have the support and security to continue to provide our customers with the highest level of service and quality ready-mixed concrete and concrete pumping services that we pride ourselves in providing. I’m very proud that my parent’s legacy will be able to live on and evolve for many years to come.”
