Vision, Mission & Values
We go beyond!
Every member of our 800-strong workforce is proud of our long-standing reputation for the constructive way we partner with our customers and suppliers across the country.
This is outlined through our vision, mission, purpose and values, and is best summarised in our long-established tagline “we go beyond”. A reflection of our can-do approach to doing business, going above and beyond for colleagues, customers and communities.
Our Vision
To be the driving force behind a circular economy in construction through tech-driven solutions.
Nothing is wasted – all materials are used to develop our built environment or restore our natural environment. Zero waste. Zero carbon.
Our Mission
To recover discarded materials and find smart ways to reuse them in construction and land remediation.
This is summarised in ‘Circularity Solved’, an approach underpinned by three action areas:
- We recover low value materials, and discarded waste from demolition and excavation, mining and energy-from-waste.
- We add value through processing, manufacturing, bagging, making concrete blocks and providing other services and solutions.
- We reuse those materials in construction or to restore quarried land.
Our Core Values
Caring
People are at the heart of everything we do. We all look out for one another, and in doing so help to create a happy, rewarding, safe, healthy and sustainable workplace. Everyone is included, respected and valued.
INSPIRING
Together we contribute to something exceptional, building strong working relationships to achieve common goals. We inspire and challenge each other to go beyond, showing leadership, responsibility and trust.
Developing
We nurture the strengths of every person so they can do their best. We create opportunities for learning and development, supporting everyone to achieve their goals and realise our sustainability ambitions.
Excelling
We’re continually improving to ensure we’re number one in our chosen markets, in customer service and in people development. Each person contributes to, and shares in, our undisputed and sustainable success.
Can-Do
We work with positivity, passion and flair, seeing obstacles as challenges to overcome. We’re agile enough to adapt when things change, yet determined enough to go beyond to make things happen.
Our Purpose & Ambition
Alongside our market-oriented Vision and Mission, sit our Purpose and Ambition.
These serve as a ‘call to action’ to leaders across our business – at all levels and in all roles – and they capture the enterprising spirit that has been part of our DNA since day one.

There are four pillars that support our ambition, and each works with the others to sustain our future journey and success:
