Moore Concrete

What Moore Concrete does

Moore Concrete generates revenue through direct one-time sales of manufactured precast concrete products via three sector-dedicated sales teams (Agriculture Ext 1, Building Ext 2, Civil & Commercial Ext 3) reached at a single UK number, plus a Northern Ireland agricultural merchant and stockist network for downstream distribution. Customers include farmers and agricultural contractors (long-tail SMB), self-builders and residential developers (Building sector), and enterprise civil engineering contractors plus government and local authorities (Civil & Commercial sector), with major named contracts including a £3.46 million coastal protection scheme for Fylde Borough Council and supply partnerships with VBA Joint Venture, Stena Line, and Tulloch Developments. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; products are manufactured to ISO 9001 standards with multiple EN/BS regulatory certifications enabling subsidy eligibility under Ireland's TAMS III scheme. The go-to-market is sales-led, supported by trade show participation (Balmoral Show, Royal Highland Show, Flood & Coast, Rail Live) and content marketing through the company website. The company has remained independent throughout its 45+ year history with no disclosed external investment, and is founder-managed with Wilbert Moore as Managing Director.
