Aardvark Concrete to target utility and government-funded sectors

By Simon Binns

Stockport-based Aardvark Concrete is looking to grow its corporate division by 30 per cent within the next 12 months by targeting the utility and government-funded sectors.

The company, which supplies and distributes concrete and aggregate material to large and small-scale construction projects, wants to increase its activity in motorway, utility, local government and sewerage repair work.

Aardvark has also secured the sole UK distribution rights to specialist material placing vehicle, the BayLynx MultiCat Spreader.

Dubbed the “Stonespreader”, it can unload and spread up to 18 tonnes of material, reaching up to 30 metres from the rear of the truck. Each truck is worth £180,000.

Mick Duignan, general manager at Aardvark Concrete, said: “The corporate construction market has become a lucrative revenue stream for the company in recent, months and we’re confident the corporate division will grow significantly by the end of 2009.

“The addition of the Stonespreader has enabled us to tender for complex and large-scale projects across a broad range of sectors.”

Aardvark intends to extend distribution of the new vehicle to mainland Europe in early 2010.
