Durham-headquartered Hargreaves (UK) Services has snapped up two aggregates businesses as part of its strategy to expand in the sector.
The company has acquired McLeod Construction Materials (MCM), which produces secondary aggregates for the construction sector based at Newlandside Quarry in County Durham, and Darlington-based aggregate merchant and bagging business Greenford Haulage & Aggregates (Greenford).
The Newlandside site, which re-opened in 2021 by MCM, contains about four million tonnes of waste tips which are recycled to produce secondary aggregates with a lower carbon footprint than virgin quarried aggregates.
