What Duo Group does

Duo Group is a UK-based, privately held provider of integrated material processing and handling solutions for the aggregates, quarrying, mining, construction and demolition (C&D) waste recycling, and infrastructure sectors. Operating from a Coventry headquarters and four additional UK offices (including a Northern Ireland civil engineering office and a Frome manufacturing facility) with 200+ employees, the company delivers end-to-end services spanning plant design, in-house manufacture and installation (including a dedicated Duo Electrical division with ATEX-compliant drive systems), contract processing on a fixed price-per-tonne basis, civil engineering and earthworks, equipment rental, and aftermarket spares and service. Its customer base includes major UK and international materials groups (Tarmac, Hanson, CEMEX, Aggregate Industries, Grundon), Tier 1 infrastructure contractors on HS2 and motorway projects (BBV, Skanska Costain Strabag, Ferrovial Lagan, Transport Scotland), mining operators (Tungsten West), and water utilities (Northumbrian Water, MWH/Stantec). The company's go-to-market combines direct enterprise field sales with exclusive authorized distributor relationships for Tier 1 OEM equipment — Metso (UK), Keestrack (UK and Ireland), Telestack (UK), and Terex Washing Systems (UK) — giving it preferred access to leading brands across crushing, screening, conveying, and washing categories. Revenue is generated across seven streams: equipment sales and distribution, EPC turnkey project delivery, contract processing services, equipment rental, civil engineering and earthworks, aftermarket services and spares, and finance solutions arranged through partner providers. Major contract evidence includes an £81.4 million BBV HS2 earthworks package (42 months, 1.4M m³ excavated), a £35M M8 M73 M74 motorway project, and a multi-year EPC contract for the Hemerdon tungsten and tin processing facility restart with Tungsten West. The company traces its origins to LJH (rebranded to Duo in January 2006) and was materially reshaped by the July 2018 merger with Denbow International and the August 2020 divestiture of its Capital Sales Division under Group CEO Pat Doran, which refocused the business on turnkey processing solutions, operations, and manufacturing.

Direct peers

• McCloskey International: McCloskey International (Ontario, Canada, with significant UK operations) manufactures mobile crushing, screening, and conveying equipment - direct competitor in the aggregates and recycling space where Duo deploys Keestrack, Metso, and Terex Washing Systems.
• CDE Group: CDE Group (Cookstown, Northern Ireland) designs and manufactures wet processing plants for sand, aggregates, recycling, and industrial minerals - the most direct UK/Ireland competitor to Duo's washing/screening and materials processing business. Operates a similar turnkey and equipment sales model globally.
• Powerscreen: Powerscreen (Dungannon, Northern Ireland; Terex brand) is a leading manufacturer of mobile crushing and screening equipment - closely overlaps with the equipment categories Duo distributes and was previously part of the divested Capital Sales Division.
• EDGE Innovate: EDGE Innovate (Co. Tyrone, Northern Ireland) manufactures mobile and static screening, crushing, and stockpiling equipment for the aggregates, recycling, and composting industries - comparable UK-based materials processing equipment OEM that competes with the OEM brands Duo distributes.
• Kiverco: Kiverco (UK/Northern Ireland) designs and manufactures recycling plant and material recovery facility (MRF) equipment for C&D waste and commercial waste recycling - directly comparable to Duo's C&D waste recycling applications and Modular/IBA plant offering.

Broad incumbents

• Metso: Metso (Finland/Helsinki) is a global leader in aggregates and minerals processing equipment, of which Duo is the official UK distributor. While a partner, Metso's direct end-to-end solutions increasingly compete with Duo's turnkey EPC delivery model.
• Terex Corporation: Terex Corporation (USA) owns the Terex Washing Systems, Powerscreen, Terex Finlay, and Genie brands relevant to Duo's product portfolio. Materially overlaps with Duo's aggregates and recycling offering across equipment and washing lines.
• Sandvik Rock Processing Solutions: Sandvik Mining and Rock Solutions (Sweden) supplies crushing, screening equipment and drilling solutions across aggregates and mining - sits adjacent to Duo's processing plant portfolio and counts Sandvik among Duo's select customers.

Emerging players

• Keestrack: Keestrack (Belgium) is a manufacturer of mobile crushing, screening, shredding, and stacking equipment, for which Duo was appointed UK & Ireland distributor in February 2026. The relationship is symbiotic but Keestrack sells directly in other EU markets, making it adjacent competition elsewhere.
• Telestack: Telestack (UK/Northern Ireland) designs mobile and static conveying, stockpiling, and ship loading/unloading equipment. Duo's 2024 partnership for UK distribution overlaps with Duo's own bespoke conveying/stockpiling solutions, creating partial competitor and partner dynamics.
