Heidelberg Materials acquires leading recycling and construction materials company in the United Kingdom

Heidelberg Materials will acquire the Mick George Group, subject to relevant competition authority approval. The Mick George Group is a market-leading construction and demolition waste (CDW) recycler in the Eastern region of the UK, with an annual revenue of around £ 220 million. 

The Mick George Group specialises in bulk excavation and earthmoving services, demolition, and environmentally sensitive waste removal, complemented by waste management services as well as aggregates and concrete supply. The company operates four recycling facilities, eight waste transfer stations, eleven aggregates quarries, and ten ready-mixed concrete plants. 

The acquisition will significantly strengthen Heidelberg Materials’ circular materials offering whilst complementing its existing aggregates and ready-mixed concrete business in the UK. It adds a considerable recycling platform to Heidelberg Materials’ portfolio. Through this, it supports the development of innovative technologies for processing waste and upgrading it for use in the construction cycle as a valuable material. 

“The acquisition of the Mick George Group is another significant step towards our target to offer circular alternatives for half of our concrete products by 2030. Pushing circularity and consequently recycling, reusing, and thereby reducing the use of primary raw materials is crucial to achieving Net Zero,” says Dr Dominik von Achten, Chairman of the Managing Board.

“With the acquisition of the Mick George business, we are clearly moving towards establishing a truly circular materials and services offer in our UK business,” adds Jon Morrish, Member of the Managing Board and responsible for Western and Southern Europe. “I warmly welcome all 1000 Mick George employees to Heidelberg Materials and look forward to further developing the business together.” 

The acquisition is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2023. Both parties have agreed not to disclose the financial terms of the transaction.
