The plant is the company’s eighth batching plant, extending its concrete supply beyond the Cambridge, Peterborough, Leicester boundaries.

Mick George had previously been providing volumetric mixed concrete in the Northamptonshire area, temporarily, but the new facility allows for barrel mixed operations, producing an average of 60m³ of concrete per hour.

Garry Woodcock, concrete operations manager at Mick George said: “Commercially we have gained a lot of interest in and around Northamptonshire for our products. The site was originally home to state-of-the-art recycling technology as part of our waste management service, so the facility seemed the perfect location to increase our concrete offering, providing trade and residential customers with what they want.”
