Concrete firm set for growth with Liebherr fleet expansion
Ready mixed concrete supplier The Ashcourt Group has returned to Liebherr-Great Britain for additional equipment to satisfy increased demand for its products.
The company already runs a Betomix batching plant, a number of HTM 404, 704 and 804 mixers and a mobile concrete pump operating at its Hull headquarters but with major expansion in the pipeline has added a second batching plant for a new site in Pocklington.
Ashcourt is the leading independent supplier of ready mix throughout Hull and the surrounding area, a position it has achieved just four years after forming a concrete division. The group also has interests in construction, civil engineering, aggregates, plant hire and waste management.
The site in Pocklington has seen the company significantly expand its operations, explained Marketing Manager Luke Stocks. “The centralised location puts both York and Hull within easy reach and also gives us the chance to increase our coverage around the outskirts of both cities.”
The plant is identical to that at Hull which has served the company well over the past four years. Capable of batching up to 100m3 per hour, the Betomix 2.5 plant relies on a 2.5m3
twin shaft, mixer to deliver a steady and consistent flow of material. “We have been very pleased with the way in which the Liebherr plant has operated,” said Ian White, General Manager for Concrete Operations. “The two plants are the largest in East Yorkshire and are indicative of the service the concrete division gives to its external customer base and for the work it undertakes within the group.”
