The Kendall Group

What The Kendall Group does

The Kendall Group, per the supplied data, operates as a UK-based aggregates and readymix concrete manufacturer running over 200 sites including 80+ readymix concrete plants and approximately 4,000 employees. The portfolio spans aggregates, cement, asphalt, readymix, screed, mortar, building products (lightweight and dense aggregate blocks, concrete bricks), and contracting services covering highways, civils, and circular/recycling solutions. Sub-brands such as ECOPact (low-carbon readymix, 30%+ CO2 reduction), DYNAMax (high-performance concrete), Agilia (self-compacting), ECOPlanet cement, and SuperLow Carbon Asphalt address differentiated specification niches, while Concrete2You serves the domestic and small-commercial minimix segment and a Mobile Concrete Plant / SiteBatch capability supports remote or constrained sites. The company reports industry-first credentials including global-first BES 6001 responsible sourcing certification and the first live Environmental Product Declarations among UK readymix suppliers, and operates digital tools (Holcim+, Carbon Calculator, mix calculators) for ordering, tracking, and embodied-carbon reporting.

Revenue is generated transactionally through one-time sales of materials (per-delivery readymix and per-tonne aggregates, asphalt, cement, blocks) and through project-based contracting and technical services (highways, civils, mobile batching, recycling). Pricing is quote-based and specification-driven — dependent on mix, volume, location, and sustainability requirements — with no public list pricing. Go-to-market is primarily enterprise field sales, with in-house specification teams engaging contractors, developers, and specifiers from design stage through delivery; the domestic long tail is reached via Concrete2You direct sales. Customer segmentation is vertical: commercial and residential construction, transport and infrastructure (roads, highways, rail, aviation, ports), and domestic/small-scale construction. Note: the operating content in the source data aligns with Holcim UK (Holcim Group subsidiary), and the supplied material does not contain first-party financials or details specific to The Kendall Group as a separate legal entity.
