Breedon's Chairman, Amit Bhatia, commented:

"On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank Pat for his excellent leadership of the Group. Breedon has thrived during the five years that Pat has been Chief Executive and I wish him all the best for the future. Pat will be succeeded by Rob Wood, who has worked very closely with Pat on the development and execution of the Group's strategy, and I look forward to continuing to work with him. Pat, Rob and James have worked hard over the last few months to ensure a seamless transition.
