Hi dyche, I have a background in the waste / recycled aggregate industry ( working in my fathers businesses) gaining my excavator tickets and class 2 rigid licenses this year. I turned down university to learn the game. Yes its a hell of a lot different to heavy aggregates but I also have some knowledge on them. I do slightly disagree with margins on regard to this as an efficient operation can be lucrative in confident market condition but I know how strict regulations are and expenses for constant plant renewal/insurance/compliance etc and this can be a real hinderance to profit, a strong management team is whats needed to contra this and I believe Breedon has that quality. If anything they do aim to be the safest and most profitable in the industry and those aspirations don't sound bad at all to me. I'll top up in the lows & I still stand by my choice of BREE as I'm confident I'll see a good return long term, today hasn't bothered me. GL mate.
