On 7th March CemNet Newsroom reported that Breedon Group PLC reports revenues grew by 43 per cent to GBP652.4m, including a full-year contribution from Hope Construction Materials, which was fully integrated into the group less than 12 months after completion of the acquisition, and from Sherburn Minerals Ltd. Total revenues for Breedon Cement rose to GBP141.6m.

Regular visitors will recall Whitehopleman’s long association with Hope with Dr Clark beginning his career there 45 years ago and Whitehopleman having undertaken technical due diligence on behalf of Mittal Investments when they acquired Hope from Lafarge back in 2012 before subsequently selling on to Breedon.
