Peak District tourist board cements new bond with Hope

Hope Cement Works

Hope Construction Materials become a patron of Visit Peak District & Derbyshire tourist board

OFFICIAL tourist board Visit Peak District & Derbyshire has cemented a solid working partnership with Britain’s leading independent producer of construction materials.

Hope Construction Materials are the latest company to pledge their backing as a tourist board patron, to help promote the Peak District as a world-class destination.

 

Hope operate two major manufacturing sites in the area – their cement plant in the Hope Valley and Dowlow Quarry, which processes limestone aggregates products, near Buxton.

The company joins founding patrons Chatsworth House Trust, Elysian Hospitality (East Lodge Hotel & Restaurant at Rowsley and Callow Hall near Ashbourne), Losehill House Hotel & Spa at Hope, No 6 The Square Tea Rooms in Buxton, and Thornbridge Brewery, Bakewell, as the tourist’s board’s leading business supporters.

‘We are delighted to welcome Hope Construction Materials on board as one of our key business ambassadors in our quest to promote the Peak District as the perfect place for a short break or holiday for visitors from both home and abroad,’ said David James, the tourist board’s chief executive.

‘We have had a long-standing partnership with the Hope cement plant, and it’s a pleasure to extend this relationship to Dowlow Quarry as well, now that they are both part of the Hope Construction Materials network.

‘All our patrons make a huge contribution to our efforts to put the area on the world tourism map, and we very much appreciate their commitment to helping us maintain and widen its expanding national and international profile.

‘They also lead the way for smaller businesses and organizations, now numbering around 600, to join us as members in support of our work, and share in a range of marketing and PR campaigns designed to attract more staying visitors, create more jobs and boost the local and regional economy.’

Ashley Bryan, industrial director of Hope Construction Materials, added: ‘As part of a well-established Peak District industry, but a very new, entrepreneurial business, we are very pleased to continue our relationship with Visit Peak District & Derbyshire.

‘At Hope Construction Materials, we pride ourselves on supporting the local economy and community around our operations. Quarrying and cement manufacturing are an important part of the industrial heritage of this area – a key element of the fundamental make-up of the Peak District.

‘By becoming a patron of Visit Peak District & Derbyshire, we hope to demonstrate the responsible role we play in our continued support for the area and its future.’
