UK aggregates giant Breedon says sales are continuing to grow despite the ‘increasingly uncertain’ economic and political backdrop.
The north-Leicestershire headquartered business said business was up 12 per cent over the first six months of 2022, with sales of £671 million compared to a year earlier. Pre-tax profits were up almost 30 per cent at £59.5 million.
The business said the growth came on the back of things getting back to normal post-Covid and thanks to its clients being in relatively resilient markets such as infrastructure (which accounts for half of its revenues), industrial construction and house building (which is around 20 per cent of sales).
