Breedon associate company’s £230mn Scottish contract

894 Breedon Aggregates, the UK’s largest independent aggregates business, has welcomed the decision by 5773 Transport Scotland to award its trunk road maintenance contract for the north-west of Scotland to Breedon’s associate company, BEAR Scotland.

The contract is one of two awarded today by Transport Scotland, worth a total of £230 million (€284 million). The other, for maintenance of trunk roads in the south-west of Scotland, has been won by Scotland Transerv.

Commenting on the award Alan Mackenzie, chief executive of Breedon Aggregates Scotland, said: “We’re delighted that our associates at BEAR have won this important tender to maintain the roads in a key Scottish region. They already manage the maintenance of trunk roads in the south-east and north-east of the country and this is a great vote of confidence in the quality of their service and delivery.”
