Can you change the construction world? If you have a great new idea, innovation or carbon cutting game changer, join us for this year's Supplier Sustainability Week from 25 - 28 November. 🌍 Supplier Sustainability Week is about so much more than carbon reduction. Our aim is to increase awareness and engage with our supplier base on the wide range of topics that fall under sustainability, and it is the perfect opportunity to showcase how effective great collaboration can be across the supply chain. If it helps to encourage just one person to think differently about the topics we cover, then we have succeeded. Register here: https://orlo.uk/AWp58

Yesterday our General Counsel & Company Secretary, Katie Smart, moderated two panel sessions at the Economist Impact General Counsel Summit. First, Katie led the discussions around the role of legal operations with Lewis Bowman, Sapan Gupta and Sonya Rogerson, followed by the use of technology with Catie Sheret, Lisa Maxwell and Stéphanie Hamon. The Summit was a fantastic opportunity to bring together in-house legal experts to discuss strategy and innovation, and how an effective and innovative legal team can best optimise their support for their business colleagues #EconGC #GCSummit

At Tarmac, fostering a culture of shared knowledge and continuous learning is at the heart of our operations, as Mit Bimal Vakharia and Chris have demonstrated this week. We believe that real-world, hands on experience empowers growth and innovation 👍 Here’s to many more transformative learning experiences!

Last week our inspiring Sustainability Director, Emma Hines, joined an expert panel to discuss the evolving role of sustainability leaders in driving climate action at BusinessGreen's Net Zero Festival. Led by Michael Holder, the session included Jules Cullen from Esri UK and Julia H Giannini MSc and explored the importance of collaboration, both within businesses, and across supply chains and industries. And the expert trio also debated whether every position in business is essentially now a sustainability role. Great to join this important corporate event 👏

We're proud to be supporting the next generation of skilled bricklayers! 👷♂️👷♀️ For the past few years, our Mortars team has sponsored the CITB Go Construct SkillBuild bricklaying competition, providing high-quality materials to help participants showcase their talent. This year, we've supplied bulk bags of mortar for all of the regional events and we're now providing a silo on-site in Milton Keynes for the big finale at the end of November. Best of luck to all of this year's participants, we can't wait to see your work in action👏

Tarmac CEVO low carbon concrete - CPD sessions now available! ✅ Following the launch of our CEVO low carbon concretes, we've launched a new CPD module designed to provide specialist guidance on understanding low carbon concrete and how to specify them. It offers an in-depth exploration of the scale of concrete use in construction and what technical and operational challenges are associated with removing carbon emissions from cement and concrete production.

As we celebrate 200 years of cement production in the UK, Tunstead Quarry stands as testament to the evolution of an essential industry. Over the past two hundred years, cement has shaped our world. Tunstead Quarry is home to one of the nation’s critical cement kilns, producing a key ingredient for the concrete that helps to deliver new homes, schools, hospitals, workplaces, roads and railways, as well as the infrastructure that provides us with clean water, sanitation and low-carbon energy. Our super quarry doesn’t just produce materials – it showcases how industry and nature can coexist. From our resident Peregrine Falcons to our restored limestone grasslands, we’re proving that responsible stewardship matters. With 70% of our materials transported by rail, we’re embracing sustainable practices while delivering the essential minerals that will build the foundations of Britain’s future. So as we mark the bicentenary of cement, here’s to looking forward to a net zero future and another century of innovation and progress. #CementBicentenary #200Years #TunsteadQuarry #Nature

After a busy day of meetings on Thursday I really enjoyed getting out into Tarmac's Panshanger park in the late afternoon sunshine to check out some of our nature recovery projects. Firstly I went into the Chisel Shelf Woodland to see how the Longhorn Cattle have opened up a key landscape view in the new wood pasture compartment. Then I went to see our iron age pigs who have just been moved to their new home on our wetland scrapes. Looking forward to going back in a few weeks to see how their 'rootling' has created patches of bare ground and more mud around the margins of the scrapes. #NatureRecovery #Biodiversity #ConservationGrazing #Wellbeing

Fantastic work by the team on delivering such a significant upgrade to Liverpool One Bus Station🚍 Innovative materials like our HALO warm mix asphalt and CEVO low-carbon concrete have played an important role in reducing the project's environmental impact, in turn helping Liverpool move closer to its Net Zero 2030 goals. This project is another great example of how sustainability and infrastructure development can go hand-in-hand to create safer and more efficient transport networks. Well done to everyone involved!👏
