Breedon Group ("Breedon") to form
London ready-mixed concrete joint venture
Breedon Southern Limited, part of Breedon Group plc, today
announces plans to form a joint venture in London trading as
Capital Concrete Limited ("Capital Concrete"), with Robert Brett
& Sons Limited ("Brett") and the Capital Concrete senior
management.
Three of Breedon's existing ready-mixed concrete assets will be
combined with those of Capital Concrete, Brett's established
ready-mixed concrete operation in London. The enlarged business,
which will continue to trade as Capital Concrete, will provide both
partners with a strong platform from which to develop their
offerings to the London market.
Capital Concrete currently operates seven ready-mixed concrete
plants in Bow, Croydon, Romford, Rainham, Wembley, Silvertown and
Staines. Breedon will contribute its plants in Cricklewood, Feltham
and Enfield, together with GBP3.1 million in cash, in return for a
43 per cent interest in the joint venture. The balance will be
owned by Brett (43 per cent) and management (14 per cent).
Commenting on the agreement Pat Ward, group chief executive of
Breedon, said: "We have had a longstanding ambition to expand our
footprint in the UK's largest construction materials market. This
joint venture enables us to secure immediate critical mass in
Greater London, in collaboration with an experienced local partner,
with the potential to develop a business of significant scale in
the capital over the next few years.
"We are very much looking forward to working with the
outstanding management team in Capital Concrete and this also gives
us a great opportunity to strengthen our relationship with
Brett."
Completion of the transaction is expected to take place on 1
December 2019.
