Has the UK cement market become more competitive?


Back in May 2012 we asked who would buy Lafarge's Hope cement plant in Derbyshire. The answer was a company from India called Mittal Investments. 
The sale was a condition of the UK Competition Commission in response to the proposed joint venture between Lafarge and Tarmac. It also included 172 ready mix concrete plants, five aggregates quarries, two asphalt plants, one marine aggregates wharf, one rail-linked aggregates depot and the sale of Tarmac's 50% ownership interest in Midland Quarry Products.

Driveway Renovation – Before and After


The above image is of one of the driveway renovation projects we have worked on. This is how the driveway looked before we had renovated it.
The picture below shows an image of the driveway after we had carried out renovation on it. As you can see the finished driveway is much more aesthetically pleasing and is in better condition.
