Yarrows aim for aggregate victory
Company joins three other private firms in Yorkshire to share best practice and drive up standards
YARROWS Aggregates, based near Beverley in East Yorkshire, have become the fourth business in Yorkshire to join a scheme that aims to raise the bar in the supply of high-quality, accredited materials for the construction and utility sectors.
Yarrows join E J Lidster of Barnsley, Hull-based Mike Wakefield Tippers and Mone Brothers, who are based across West and North Yorkshire. All four firms are sharing best practice when it comes to reaching the required YHAUC (Yorkshire Highway Authorities and Utilities Committee) standards.
Founded in 2005, Yarrows now employ 17 people at Little Catwick Quarry, near Leven, and supply both trade and domestic customers with a wide range of building, recycled and decorative aggregates, as well as stone, slate and other landscaping and construction products.
John Bird of Yarrows commented: ‘This is all about driving up standards in the quality of aggregates supplied for utility reinstatement, highways construction and other civil engineering projects. Gaining YHAUC accreditation will be a big step forward for Yarrows. It’s a win win for all concerned.’
Steve Horsley of Mone Brothers said: ‘We’re delighted to welcome Yarrows for what is an approach that’s helping to transform the construction and utility landscape right across Yorkshire.’
