Tobermore, one of the UK & Ireland’s leading construction manufacturers, has announced that it will be investing £12 million to expand its operations to meet growing demand driven by current and anticipated growing demand for new residential homes. To kick start the expansion, the company will invest £4 million in new jobs across Great Britain and Ireland, including the creation of a dedicated technical design team to support its commercial customers. This will be followed by the construction of a new £8 million state-of-the-art production facility at its manufacturing site in Tobermore. “We know the industry is preparing for considerable growth in the construction of new homes and infrastructure, and this investment shows that Tobermore is ready to support our customers across the supply chain as they design, build, and supply the materials for their projects,” explained Kathryn Robinson, Head of Sales at Tobermore. “These plans will ensure that we have the right people, facilities, and equipment in place to produce the products they need at scale, so we can meet both the immediate need and an anticipated upsurge in customer demand.” To address immediate capacity requirements driven by an increase in customer demand, Tobermore has also introduced additional night shifts in its manufacturing facilities. Over the next few months, the company will also recruit 34 people to increase the technical and specification support available for customers. This includes a technical support service to help with permeable paving, retaining walls and landscape visualisations. They will also be recruiting 10 new roles within the commercial / Business-to-Business team, including two national housebuilder managers, as well as 11 new specification managers to support its continually growing customer base in Great Britain. “By extending our design, technical, specification, and account teams, we will be able to provide groundworkers with the dedicated support they need for every stage of the build process,” added Kathryn. “We can provide everything from a complete design and visualisation service to the technical information needed to deliver everything from permeable paving to structural walls on site.” As well as recruiting new staff, the company has made 11 internal promotions. Anna McAleer, currently Head of Specification (National) & Commercial Sales (Ireland), and Lee Blackburn, Head of Commercial Sales (GB), will be promoted to Joint Heads of Strategic Growth in Britain. “We value our people and always look to reward their hard work and dedication by promoting internally,” added Laura McGlade, Head of People at Tobermore. “We do everything we can to equip our teams with the right resources, expertise, skills and training to empower them to progress and develop their careers with us.” In addition, Tobermore will make a £8m investment in the construction of a new 3,000m2 factory. This will be able to produce over 1,000,000m2 paving blocks a year, increasing the company’s block paving production by 25%. The facility will be equipped with industry leading manufacturing equipment that will deliver high quality paving products at speed. “Our customers are facing an incredible challenge to build more homes and commercial projects, including public realm and healthcare, and to do this quickly to very high standards,” explained Kathryn. “This investment demonstrates our commitment to supporting our customers. Increasing our production capacity means we will be able to not just meet but exceed anticipated demand, so they can keep on building.” This is just the latest investment in a series of expansion projects by Tobermore to support its ambitious growth plans. The company opened its £10 million production facility in 2020, expanding block paving production capacity, and its £8.6 million manufacturing unit in 2022 to increase production of paving slabs. These two investments have enabled the company to scale up overall block paving production by approximately 25% and slab production by approximately 40% compared to this time 5 years ago.

Leading building products supplier, Aggregate Industries, has today reached an important milestone with the inflation of its dome silo airform in Tilbury. This structure will form an integral part of the new state-of-the-art cement import, manufacturing and distribution facility at Tilbury docks which is currently under construction. Once operational in 2026, this facility will allow Aggregate Industries to serve its customers 24/7 with conventional, low carbon and circular cementitious materials from 5 loading heads. The innovative dome structure is one of only a handful of its kind in the UK and offers a compelling alternative to traditional large-scale industrial storage facilities. Due to its large storage capacity, the dome silo provides a viable long-term solution to manage supply and demand fluctuations across the construction sector. Contractor Dome Technology LLC inflated the airform and will now commence placing nearly 4,500m3 of sprayed and wet mix concrete to form the 45m tall, 32m diameter dome silo, which will eventually store 30,000 tonnes of cement. “This new facility is a strategic investment in both the infrastructure of Tilbury and in Aggregate Industries’ mission to lead in supplying low-carbon, sustainable construction solutions,” said Project Manager, Tim Fry. “The dome silo maximises storage capacity with minimum footprint, and reflects Aggregate Industries’ proactive commitment to embrace new innovative technologies.” CEO of Dome Technology, Bradley Bateman, says, “Dome Technology and Aggregate Industries worked closely together to develop the most efficient and economical solution for this project, relying on the many decades of industry experience and innovation from both teams. When completed this facility will be state of the art and the result of the teams’ collaborative dynamic ability to innovate and find solutions.” Tilbury’s strategic location amplifies the facility’s impact by enhancing supply chain resilience across the region. This landmark project marks a significant investment in the local economy, creating job opportunities and providing new business for suppliers and trades involved in its construction and operation.

Knauf Insulation has completed a major upgrade of its glass mineral wool manufacturing plant in St Helens which features UK-first forming technology to enable new product capability. The upgrade has increased roll, slab and blowing wool capacity by up to 25,000 tonnes, added new product capability and further reduced the embodied carbon of products made at the site, the largest glass mineral wool plant in the UK. The upgraded plant was officially reopened yesterday by Knauf Group General Partner Alexander Knauf and Liverpool City Region Mayor Steve Rotheram, alongside representatives from St Helens Borough Council and senior personnel from the Knauf Insulation Group. “Glass mineral wool insulation is central to meeting the UK’s housebuilding and energy efficiency needs,” said Neil Hargreaves, Managing Director, Knauf Insulation Northern Europe. “This upgrade means we can deliver increased volumes and enhanced products for our customers to meet rising demand for warmer, safer and sustainable homes with lower energy bills.” The plant now features UK-first forming technology that will enable Knauf Insulation to create the next generation of low thermal conductivity, non-combustible glass mineral wool products and add thicker options to its existing ranges. The extensive programme of work involved over 1,100 contractors over a six-month period. It included installation of a larger plant furnace which is used to melt the main raw material of glass cullet, collected via local household recycling. Touring the plant, Steve Rotheram said “I’ve really enjoyed the visit and the tour of the new facilities. What it shows is a real demonstration of confidence, not only in the product or even in the process, but in the people of this area. St Helens is famous for glass. With a facility like this we’re going to be right at the forefront of investment and the economic growth that stems from it. It’s great for the City Region.” Knauf Group General Partner Alexander Knauf commented “Our people make things happen. What I saw here today makes me feel extremely proud. It’s incredible what the team has achieved over the last months. To make such a project happen has taken a true team effort from everyone. They have done an amazing job to help make tomorrow a home for all of us.” Building, Design & Construction Magazine | The Choice of Industry Professionals
XPO, a leading provider of innovative and sustainable end-to-end logistics solutions across Europe, has opened a new warehouse site in Wakefield, West Yorkshire, with its long-term partner Saint-Gobain UK. The Wakefield Northern Distribution Centre is a dedicated operation for Saint-Gobain UK (SGUK) in the north of England and designed to operate as a multi-functional site with the customer at its heart. The centre supports multiple manufacturing operations in the North and the Midlands, providing new distribution capability for Saint-Gobain UK brands and enabling Saint-Gobain to accelerate its plans for multi-brand site deliveries for customers. Dual-branded with XPO Logistics and Saint-Gobain livery, the site operates as a multi-brand one-stop shop for warehousing, backhaul and distribution to end customers. In addition, by focusing on backhaul activity, both partners can significantly reduce carbon emissions from their logistics operations and benefit from a positive Health and Safety impact. Anika Sharma, Customer Service & Supply Chain Director, Saint-Gobain Interior Solutions UK, said: “This new site is strategically vital for us, and we are delighted to have created it in collaboration with one of our key partners, XPO Logistics. The centre strengthens our existing logistics offering and allows us to expand and explore exciting new opportunities to benefit our customers.” The site has been leased long-term and provides a strategic stock-holding location for Saint-Gobain’s manufacturing facilities, including where XPO Logistics will offer several value-added services such as accelerating consolidated product delivery across multiple Saint-Gobain brands. This will result in multiple Saint-Gobain brand products being delivered to the customer on one vehicle, as opposed to orders being received on multiple delivery vehicles, which was the case in the past. The warehouse can store 2.5m square metres of plasterboard and has 1,500 racking locations for palletised goods. The forklift trucks on site are all electric, further reducing CO2e emissions. Other warehouse innovations in the pipeline include use of ATVs, robot sweepers, a proprietary warehouse management system, and stock–taking drones. The latter development significantly impacts health and safety, thanks to the reduced need for colleagues to work at height. Dan Myers, managing director—UK and Ireland, XPO Logistics, said: “It’s great to see what our teams collectively have achieved with this new distribution centre. Working together, this facility is a significant step for Saint-Gobain’s supply chain, helping to support our partner’s sustainability agenda whilst enhancing its customer service. I want to thank the team for the seamless delivery of this project against ambitious timelines.” The eventual aim is for the site to become a fulfilment centre stocking products from across the Saint-Gobain UK brand family that can be dispatched directly to the consumer. XPO Logistics is a leading innovative supply chain company in Europe, offering end-to-end logistics solutions that combine full-truckload, less-than-truckload, pallet distribution, last-mile delivery, global freight forwarding, and warehousing services. The company tailors its solutions to the specific needs of its customers in a wide range of industrial and consumer sectors.

Polypipe Building Services secured an order for more than 4,000 prefabricated drainage stacks to help transform an historic London site which is being redeveloped by Telford Homes. Mechanical and electrical contractor I-MEX (M&E) Ltd selected Terrain FUZE Stax for the Alperton Bus Depot site, a mixed-use development in Brent comprising of three high-rise blocks of commercial, residential, and affordable housing providing 461 homes. The development is due to be completed by June 2025. Terrain FUZE Stax significantly reduces installation times in large-scale drainage stack projects. This is because as a prefabricated solution covering the most common configurations of kitchens, bathrooms, and utility rooms, it removes the time spent on repetitive cutting and welding jobs or assembling loose components. Being available to order through distributors meant I-MEX (M&E) Ltd were able to order product and have it delivered within a month of them starting work on site. Robert Bruce, Polypipe Building Services Technical Sales Manager for London, said: “I-MEX (M&E) Ltd were looking for a versatile drainage stack, and liked the fact that Terrain FUZE Stax offers two four-way bosses on the same stack and can be used in multiple situations. “The fast turnaround needed to keep up with the build program made Terrain FUZE Stax an ideal choice because we keep these in stock with our distributors so there’s a short lead time. “We also worked out a complete delivery schedule with them which means their installation team can call down so many floors for delivery to site at a time through their distributor as they need them. “The fact Stax come in two parts makes them easy to install, especially where fire collars are already fitted into the slab. Previously I-MEX (M&E) Ltd had been cutting stacks in two to fit them then fabricate them back together. “Now they are installing Stax so quickly at a level per day that we’ve had to speed up their delivery schedule. Our Advantage team has also helped adapt the Terrain FUZE Stax being used in the bathrooms because I-MEX (M&E) Ltd needed a ring seal fitting to one of the outlets.” To give the installation team complete peace of mind Polypipe Building Services were able to conduct a site visit to check the standard of the drainage product installation and produce a report for I-MEX (M&E) Ltd to present to Telford Homes. This is increasingly being requested by responsible contractors from construction product manufacturers following the implementation of the Building Safety Act. Dan Smailes, Commercial Director Prefabrication at I-MEX (M&E) Ltd, said: “Prefabrication is at the forefront of what I-MEX (M&E) Ltd have been doing over the last seven years, and the introduction of Polypipe FUZE Stax came at the perfect time for us to be able to utilise it on this project. “We have previously worked alongside Polypipe Building Services to complete traditional prefabrication pieces on other projects using their standard drainage stacks and had adjusted them to make installation easier, but moving forward we will continue to use the two-part FUZE Stax on all our sites.” For more information about the commercial drainage products and prefabrication service at Polypipe Building Services go to www.polypipe.com/this-is-our-terrain Building, Design & Construction Magazine | The Choice of Industry Professionals
Denmark-based ROCKWOOL Group is pleased to announce it is acquiring Wetherby Building Systems Ltd. The acquisition marks an important milestone in ROCKWOOL’s quest to expand its façade expertise in the UK. Wetherby Building Systems Ltd, headquartered in Golborne, Greater Manchester, is a leading UK supplier for external thermal insulation composite systems (ETICS). Wetherby will become part of the ROCKWOOL Wall Systems organisation under the new designation Wetherby Wall Systems, joining counterpart organisations that include ETICS specialists HECK Wall Systems in Germany and FAST Wall Systems in Poland.

ROCKWOOL Group CEO Jes Munk Hansen states, “This acquisition underlines ROCKWOOL’s commitment to further expanding our presence in the UK market and to continuing to transform the construction sector towards sustainable and non-combustible façade solutions. The share of stone wool insulation in the Wetherby business has been growing steadily, and we will be completing this transition to a fully stone wool-based portfolio, as we have done in other markets in the past.” For Wetherby Building Systems Ltd, this acquisition is a significant step in its long-term development. The company will continue its existing partnerships with developers, customers, and suppliers. Wetherby Managing Director Bob Deane comments: “There is a long-standing relationship between Wetherby and ROCKWOOL, and the match is strong on all significant drivers, from business model and technology to company culture and values. I am convinced that inside the ROCKWOOL organisation, Wetherby will meet its full potential for wall system solutions.” The transaction does not affect ROCKWOOL’s financial expectations for 2024.

Isover has become the first insulation manufacturer in the UK to partner with circular economy pallet supplier, The Pallet LOOP, and switch to reusable pallets in a bid to significantly reduce pallet waste. Isover’s partnership with The Pallet LOOP follows the successful launch earlier this year with British Gypsum, who became the first building materials manufacturer to move to the circular pallet reuse scheme. Both British Gypsum and Isover sit under the umbrella of Saint-Gobain Interior Solutions. The move further supports Isover’s commitment to achieving net zero carbon by 2050, forming part of their wider sustainability roadmap which aims to minimise waste, re-use materials and tackle emissions to reduce environmental impact at every stage of build. Isover will roll out The Pallet LOOP scheme from December when the instantly identifiable, green-coloured LOOP pallets will go into circulation for insulation products manufactured in the UK. Dean O’Sullivan, Managing Director at Isover, part of Saint-Gobain Interior Solutions, said: “As a product manufacturer, our aim is to lead the way on pallet sustainability. Pallets left behind after products have been removed is problematic both from an environmental and financial perspective. By extending our partnership with The Pallet LOOP to now include our Isover product range, we hope that this is a further catalyst for change within the industry. “The scheme is very straight-forward to sign up to. As the ultimate recipients of pallets, our merchant, distributor, principal contractors, and housebuilder customers will be able to stack them up and send them back to The Pallet LOOP via an efficient collection service that operates nationwide. There will also be a PayBack of up to £4 available for every green coloured pallet put back in the LOOP. “We now hope other manufacturers, as well as our customers, will follow our lead and make a change in how we view single use pallets and the impact that reusable pallets can have on reducing waste.” Paul Lewis, CEO and Founder of The Pallet LOOP, part of BSW Group said: “We are delighted that Isover has also now chosen to partner with us to promote a culture of pallet reuse. We’ve had a great response to our circular economy pallets entering the supply chain through British Gypsum, with hundreds of thousands of green-coloured pallets already out in the market. We already have around 6,000 collection locations set up, with an increasing number of companies signing up to return pallets every week. “Isover’s decision to move to The Pallet LOOP, will boost the number of pallets entering the market even further. In turn that will create even more opportunities for the construction industry to maximise the environmental and financial benefits of our model – which is better for business and the planet.” For further information, or to register, visit The Pallet LOOP website at: www.thepalletloop.com or, email setmeup@thepalletloop.com.

Building materials specialist Marshalls has approved near and long-term science-based emissions reduction targets with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), making a bold commitment to reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across all scopes by 2050. Marshalls’ near-term targets – to reduce absolute scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 50.5% by 2030 and reduce absolute scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions by 37.5% by 2033 – have been validated, as have its long-term targets, to reduce absolute scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by at least 90% by 2040 and reduce absolute scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions by at least 90% by 2050. The targets use 2018 as the base year. In 2019, Marshalls became one of the first businesses in its sector in the UK to commit to the SBTi programme, publishing an original set of targets which were validated in 2020. The newly validated targets are based on a recalculation of the Marshalls group footprint following its acquisition of roofing specialist Marley in 2022. They also encompass the requirements for any net-zero target to include scope 3 emissions, as first detailed in the Net-Zero Standard of October 2021. The new targets were submitted to the SBTi in January 2024 and validated in September. The SBTi said it commended Marshalls’ net-zero target, which it says is currently the most ambitious designation available through the SBTi process. To achieve its targets, Marshalls will work closely with its suppliers – particularly those who supply cement – to explore the technologies and innovations available to decarbonise its supply chain. The SBTi develops standards, tools and guidance which allow companies to set greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets in line with what is needed to keep global heating below catastrophic levels. Michael Edwards, Group Head of Sustainability for Marshalls, said: “This is a true landmark moment for Marshalls and one we’re very proud to be telling people about. It’s a clear demonstration of our absolute commitment to become a more sustainable business, which is something we, along with our stakeholders, take incredibly seriously. “Additionally, achieving this robust, gold standard in validation will undoubtedly go on to influence and drive our product development and innovation, ensuring we meet customer sustainability needs and remain competitive in a market increasingly focused on environmental responsibility. Meanwhile, our Environmental Product Declarations allow us to demonstrate how our commitment is manifesting itself at a product level and give our customers the power to make informed, sustainable choices. “We’re now actioning the meaningful and measurable steps required to meet our targets – a commitment that’s set in stone.” Tim Clement, Director of Social Value and Sustainability for Morgan Sindall Construction, a customer of Marshalls, said: “Knowing Marshalls has made a net-zero commitment which has now been validated by the SBTi provides us with a greater level of confidence and reassurance that we’re working with a business that is absolutely committed to doing the right thing for future generations – something that’s incredibly important to us here at Morgan Sindall Construction.” Marshalls worked with the Carbon Trust on the development and submission of its targets to the SBTi. Samuel Lloyd, Sector Lead for Construction, Property and Infrastructure at the Carbon Trust, said: “Setting rigorous carbon reduction targets that are aligned to the latest science is a key step in any organisation’s path to net-zero. We’re pleased to have worked with Marshalls to develop these SBTi-validated targets, signalling the company’s strong commitment to accelerating its decarbonisation journey.” The work Marshalls is doing to reduce emissions is part of a larger sustainability strategy that includes continual improvements to its circularity of materials, water use and approach to responsible sourcing.
