Congratulations to Michael Richards on completing his NVQ Level 3 Land-Based Engineering. Michael's journey with us began in 2015, fresh out of school and uncertain about his career path. It was his father, Paul, an experienced Plant Fitter at GD Harries, who guided him to consider a career in our company. After a month of work experience at one of our quarries, Michael was so intrigued, and the company was so impressed with his enthusiasm that he was offered a role as a ‘fitters mate’. Since then, he has completed his Level 2 HGV Mechanical Engineering Course and Level 3 Land Based Engineering. Michael’s career aspirations are a testament to his commitment to GD Harries. We look forward to him developing within the business and expanding his knowledge and skills. A journey we are proud to be a part of.

This year, our Christmas 2024 Appeal is in support of 'Action for Children' in Pembrokeshire. Action for Children is a charity that supports and protects children and young people with practical and emotional support. Action for Children will be putting together a 'movie night in a hamper' for the children. We asked our team to donate items to fill these magical hampers, and they did not disappoint us. The donations came in by the bag full! A big thank you to the GD Harries team for kindly donating and making a difference by bringing the magic of Christmas into these children's homes. Diolch / Thank You

Based at our Coygen quarry in Carmarthen, the Powerscreen Premiertrak 450, is rated up to 450 tonnes per hour. The decision to purchase the machine was focused on maximising productivity, reducing downtime, and optimising our operational costs—all of which are vital in helping us provide competitively priced aggregates to our customers. This capability has been instrumental in boosting our daily production volumes while ensuring a smoother and more efficient operation overall.
