Derbyshire Specialist Aggregates acquire Resins R Us
Acquisition strengthens Derbyshire Specialist Aggregates’ national coverage with new site in East Anglia
DERBYSHIRE Specialist Aggregates have acquired Norwich-based distributor Resins R Us in a multi-million pound investment deal. The acquisition, completed on 30 October 2024, brings together two of the UK’s most successful resin-bound companies and further strengthens their positions in the market.
Resins R Us will continue to operate and be run as an independent division. There will be no interruptions to service or deliveries and all customer contacts and buying processes will be unchanged. Managing director Daniel Lake will continue to lead the Resins R Us operation with all sales, operations, and senior management teams unaffected.Sam Buckley, managing director of Derbyshire Specialist Aggregates, commented: ‘We have long admired the customer service and delivery standards achieved by Resins R Us. Combining the resources and expertise of both companies will enable us to further improve resin-bound products and services and ensure all customers receive the very best – from state-of-the-art manufacturing to exceptional customer service and delivery standards. Of course, this also strengthens our national coverage with a site in East Anglia.’
Daniel Lake added: ‘The customer has always been, and will always be, our main priority. We are so proud of our reputation for excellence in care and delivery and now, backed by the experience, resources, and shared values of Derbyshire Specialist Aggregates, we have a fantastic opportunity to improve and expand that even further.’
This new acquisition in Norwich brings to eight the current number of Derbyshire Aggregates sites across the UK, including the head office and main production facility in Derbyshire, Daltex Central Hub in Ashbourne, Daltex Trade Centres in Brighouse and Bridgend, Daltex South West Hub in Stalbridge, Dorset, as well as a slate plant in Bangor, North Wales.
