AFTER 25 years of valuable service to the Hills Group of Companies, Pete Andrew has decided to step down from his role as group director – Quarry Products at the end of 2024. He will remain engaged with the business after his retirement in an advisory capacity through 2025.

‘Pete has been a key figure within the business and the quarrying sector for many years and will be missed by colleagues, customers, and the supply chain alike.’
Reflecting on his announcement, Mr Andrew said: ‘It has been an honour and a privilege working with the talented and dedicated team within Hills Quarry Products. With a framework for future growth in place and the team as strong as it has ever been, now is the right time to announce my plans to step down.
‘I will be working with my replacement and the wider Hills Quarry Products team to ensure a smooth handover and seamless transition for our customers. I would also like to take this opportunity to say thank you for the kind words that I have already received from my peers and friends in the industry. It is much appreciated.’
