Aggregate firm delivers 1.5 millionth cubic metres of concrete

Aggregate firm Hills Quarry Products has delivered its one-and-a-half millionth cubic metre of concrete. The Swindon-based firm reached the milestone last week, less than 15 years after it started supplying ready mixed concrete.

The firm has five concrete plants supplying over 1,000 customers across central and southern England. The 1,500,000th cubic metre was delivered to a residential building site near Wantage, Oxfordshire for its long-standing customer, Conlon.

Chris Lambert, senior buyer at Conlon said: “Hills has supplied ready mixed concrete to Conlon at many different sites since 2005 and has become a highly regarded and preferred supplier.

“Being able to contact the Hills’ concrete plants directly means we can get up to date information and amend orders easily and efficiently.”

Peter Andrew, group director of Hills Quarry Products said: “Selling 1,500,000 cubic metres of ready mixed concrete is a fantastic achievement. I would like to thank Conlon and all of our customers, new and old, for their business and support.

“Hills does a great job fostering longstanding relationships with customers which is underpinned by a high quality service, quality assured products and our ongoing commitment to health and safety.”

1.5 million cubic metres of concrete is enough to build 16 Wembley Stadium or fill 600 Olympic-size swimming pools.
