Mick George invests in a new state-of- the-art wash plant from CDE supplied by strategic partner - Molson Washing
It is over 40 years since the Mick George Group started trading with just a single tipper lorry.
Fast forward those 40 years and the name is synonymous with a wide range of construction-based services across the region.
Now operating over 600 HGV vehicles from over 40 separate sites, employing in excess of 1,000 local people, gives an indication of the scale to which the business has evolved over the years and explains why they have grown to become one of the leading suppliers to the construction industry in the heart of East Anglia and East Midlands.
From their humble beginnings with a single truck the group has expanded massively to include specialist bulk excavation and earthmoving services, demolition and environmental management, a wide range of skip hire and waste management services and aggregate and concrete supply.
With expansion into these sectors also came geographical expansion allowing services to be delivered across a wider area, yet still with a local feel. Such expansion has brought the company into operating landfill sites, waste transfer stations and quarries all aimed at offering bespoke, cost-effective solutions to commercial, trade and residential customers.
One of the largest sectors the company works in is the supply of aggregates supplied from both their own quarries and also recycled from material recovered from skip and tipper waste.
As the Group have done ever since they started, quality is the name of the game, and this is mirrored in the supply of aggregates. The company’s Mayton Wood quarry near Norwich produces a range of sand and gravel products sold both to a variety of external customers and also used within the company’s own concrete batching plants.
